A Lotus Grows in the Mud is a memoir written by Goldie Hawn in 2005, with experienced author Wendy Holden.
The memoir was written about past episodes and encounters with family, friends, co-workers and complete strangers Hawn has met and known throughout her lifetime. Using a reflective writing style and introspection Hawn writes the memoir in a first person narrative from notes she had taken over the years from her personal diary. The memoir sold over 1 million copies and made the New York Times Bestseller list.
The memoir is available in different formats, including hardback and paperback books, a CD or electronic audio book file format, which can be downloaded over the internet. Hawn does the entire audio voice herself and the running time is 5 hours and 43 minutes.
The memoir is made up of 35 individual stories, which are separated by 16 mini-short-stories called "Postcards", consisting of poems, words of wisdom, and personal reflections. Inserted into the book are two major sections of photographs, 23 color photos and 33 black-and-white photos, as well as 10 other photos that are placed between stories.
