Beyond Our Wildest Dreams propels the reader back to the glory days of The Rat Pack, dazzling Las Vegas in the 1970s, and the end of the television variety show era.

It's the autobiography of two Philadelphia teen beauty queens who went on to share the stage (and their lives) with Dean Martin for almost twenty years in his acclaimed Golddiggers girl group, appearing on his television series, yearly specials and opening for him in Vegas.

Along the way The Alberici Sisters, Maria (Alberici) Lauren & Linda (Alberici) Eichberg, worked and played with Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Jerry Vale, Donald O'Connor, Tom Jones,Louis Prima, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Dom Deluise, Sammy Davis, Jr, Wayne Newton, Gene Kelly, and other legends of the screen and Las Vegas stage.

Anyone interested in Dean, Frank, the glory days of Vegas, and the final years of the legendary Rat Pack will love this book!

(Martin Scorcese's next film will be a Frank Sinatra biopic so this book is a natural to capitalize on what's sure to be an explosion of people interested in this subject a year from now.)

But it's not all glitz and glamour - it's also the story of a large Italian family led by a domineering father who's radical ideas on health and nutrition were decades ahead of their time and a sometimes glamorous mother of nine children with a quirky show biz background.

The dark side of the business rears its ugly head as the ladies tour with the sleazy Cotton Club Murder victim Roy Radin and just miss what may be the deadliest mob hit of all time - after just a few minutes 165 innocent people were left dead.

Folks across a wide spectrum of the entertainment industry are participating in this unique oral history project.
