Little Girl Blue is an intimate profile of Karen Carpenter, a girl from a modest Connecticut upbringing who became a Southern California superstar.

Karen was the instantly recognizable lead singer of the Carpenters. The top-selling American musical act of the 1970's, they delivered the love songs that defined a generation. Little Girl Blue reveals Karen's heartbreaking struggles with her mother, brother, and husband; the intimate disclosures she made to her closest friends; her love for playing drums and her frustrated quest for solo stardom; and the ups and downs of her treatment for anorexia nervosa. After her shocking death at 32 years of age in 1983, she became the proverbial poster child for that disorder; but the other causes of her decline are laid bare for the first time in this moving account.

Little Girl Blue is Karen Carpenter's definitive biography, based on exclusive interviews with her innermost circle of girlfriends and nearly 100 others, including childhood friends, professional associates, and lovers.

If I Ever

What a great book but so sad that her parents could never see Karen’s talent above Richard’s. Without Karen, there wouldn’t have been The Carpenters. I loved her sense of humor her friends shared in the book. She seemed like an awesome person and friend. The voice reading the book was very soothing but made me visualize the people who were part of the book. I learned so much about Karen the person. Another good soul taken too soon.

She Played Second Fiddle to Richard in Everything

Narrator had a smooth voice which seemed to fit the kind of vanilla image Carpenter had, as well as Carpenter's own voice. I found the end of the book with her marriage, attempts to get better, solo album, and decline to be far more interesting than the beginning. My only criticism is that I would have liked to hear more psychological evaluations of the family. There is no doubt in my own mind that Karen's mother was a dangerous narcissist, and I suspect both kids were as well, including Karen, at least to a degree. And her relationship with her brother was also very bizarre. Karen's personality, at least as expressed in this book, is very contradictory and could have used some analysis.

Kept me listening all week

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I was pleased to see this in audio format. I don't regret listening to it. However it was disappointing. I was hoping to hear a deeper account of Karen's creative process, not just an anecdotal account of her life with excessive detail about her death.

Karen as Victim

If you really want to know what happened to Karen Carpenter. This book is a must

Amazing book...

I really loved the book. The only reason I gave it four stars for overall is I wish it had more of Karen's early life. Of course, I don't think Richard Carpenter would be interviewed. That is strange as I would think he'd want the truth out when it comes to what happened in Karen's early life that was so traumatizing. Then, of course, I have to say Karen herself was altogether overconfident when it came the gift of life she was given at her birth. Life is a gift and it will go in a whiff of wind if one does not respect The Gift Of Life. Completely sad for Karen and her family. I do pray for her and them.

Very Interesting. So Sad.
