"Readers will become not just immersed in, but enchanted by [Wightman's] journeys. Libraries seeking a journey through disparate social milieus and stage performance will find Princess Cheyenne poses a rollicking, ribald, embracing experience that proves hard to put down or predict. Filled with moments of surprise and growth, Princess Cheyenne is highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review "I lovedthis debutante-to-stripper memoir. I couldn't put it down. Everyone's heard ofthe legendary Princess Cheyenne, but it turns out the story of Lucy Wightman isway more compelling." -- Jim Braude, WGBH Boston "No onewho saw Princess Cheyenne physically bare all at the Naked i in Boston's CombatZone during the '70s and '80s will be surprised that she brings the same wit,grace, and fearlessness to telling her singular story. Her anecdotes aboutsome of the people who threw themselves at her feet--among them the singer CatStevens and comedian Andy Kaufman--will keep readers fascinated and titillateduntil the final curtain.

" --The Hull Times "Lucy Wightman's journey from the blue-blooded culture of Lake Forest, Illinois, to Boston's Combat Zone is an unflinching dive into a bygone era. It's a complex character study and rare introspective look into the psyche of an intellectually gifted adult entertainer. At times Princess Cheyenne reads like a Pynchon novel, while at others it's an inspiring paean to the pursuit of adult freedom, sexuality, and self-discovery." --Dave Wedge, New York Times bestselling author of Riding with Evil , Boston Strong , and Blood & Hate: The Untold Story of Marvelous Marvin Hagler's Battle for Glory.
