Backstage at The Price Is Right is a jaw-dropping, firsthand account of the often salacious and always fascinating behind-the-scenes drama surrounding the #1 Emmy Award winning game show in television history. A true Trailblazer and as the groundbreaking first black model to join ranks with the legendary Barker's Beauties, Kathleen Bradley has written a humorous, entertaining, yet gritty revelation of what really happened backstage. At last, after 17 years on the air, the black/minority television audience had a role model, someone to relate to as they sat and watched their favorite game show. And America's male population had a more exotic Beauty on which to feast their eyes and feed their fantasies. Every weekday for 10 years, over 16 million viewers watched the glamorous model/hostess Kathleen Bradley on The Price Is Right. Women envied her, girls aspired to be her, and Bradley was living her dream, but it all came at a Price. Ms. Bradley presents an expose of the hypocrisy, sexism, and racism behind the scenes. This is Kathleen's story, leading from the excitement and jubilation of embarking upon "The Golden Road," to a rude awakening-an unjustifiable dismissal from her dream job after a decade of devoted service. This is not a Bob Barker-bashing book, but rather an enlightening journey of a woman's introduction to Hollywood, her groundbreaking induction into an exclusive and highly coveted club: the Barker's Beauties, and her bright-eyed awe at meeting a television icon.

"A Boy Named Morris" was written by the author at the age of ten. The story was inspired by a boy in
the author's fourth grade class. Every afternoon on the way home from school, Morris sees a
homeless man in the park with torn clothes and a sad dirty face. He feels bad for the homeless man
and asks his parents what he can do to help the man. His parents inform him there was nothing he
can do because the homeless man is an adult and has to help himself. This saddens him. He wishes
for a way to help the man. Then one day, he has the chance to help the man. Later that day, Morris
is rushed to the hospital. He had been sick for a long time. While at the hospital, he has a visit from
the homeless man, who he takes him to his heavenly reward. This story relates to all religions and
cultures, A true story of pure love and human kindness.
"Maggie's Carnival of Dreams" is inspired by the author's experiences as a child. The story tells of
children with various disabilities sitting in a dirty old park, imagining and dreaming of going to a
carnival to ride upon the amusement rides. The children are told by their caregiver that they are "not
normal children" and will never be able to ride upon amusement rides. This hurts and saddens the
children, so they create a carnival of their minds where they can ride upon the rides and where their
disabilities can't stop them. As years go by and the children grow into their adult years, Maggie
remembers the hurt of being called "not normal" and makes their dreams come true. Maggie makes
the dream carnival reality. The carnival is designed for children with disabilities--because all children
are normal.
