Dazzled by the Light: Linda Goodman, Pop Astrology and the New Age by Karen Christino, 2026
“A deep dive into Linda Goodman’s life, from her early childhood to her meteoric rise to fame and success, and well beyond: Goodman’s recklessness, her fantasies, her delusions, in a respectful and compassionate history… 5 Stars!” – Connie di Marco, author of the Zodiac Mysteries.
“A fascinating read, well-researched and engrossing. Highly recommended.” – Anthony Louis, astrologer and best-selling author of Tarot Plain and Simple.
“Christino’s deeply researched writing is as compulsively readable as Linda Goodman’s own… Dazzled by the Light finally rewards a complex, influential woman with the remarkable biography she deserves.” – Robert Glasscock, master astrologer and Linda Goodman colleague.
New Age trailblazer Linda Goodman wrote best-selling books and empowered millions with astrology’s insights. Strong willed, complicated and fiercely independent, she had three husbands, six kids, legions of fans, and extraordinary success. An idealistic seeker, she believed she could create the world she chose; yet with her daughter’s suicide at 21, she shrank from reality.
Dazzled by the Light covers Linda’s West Virginia roots, her relationship struggles, professional achievements and financial setbacks. Enriched with in-depth research, vivid portraits of New Age figures, friends’ candid recollections, and Linda’s effervescent prose, this comprehensive biography illuminates the life and times of an enigmatic icon.
