Perfect Love Linda Manning

About This Show

Perfect Love is Linda Manning’s empowering story about coming out of hiding. Why does a woman with a loving husband and two kids suddenly find herself unbearably anxious, unable to sleep, and her only comfort an old poster of Robert Redford? Linda tracks her evolution from a teenager surrounded by men who take advantage of her naïveté and beauty, to a reckless woman on the hunt for perfect love with every dangerous man she encounters. This is the poignant, courageous and at times hilarious story of a woman’s struggle to exorcize her demons and set herself free.
