Betty White’s Pearls of Wisdom Audiobook Summary
A beautiful tribute to Betty White, one of the most beloved and treasured American icons
Betty White’s award-winning career spanned seven decades. From the early days of television on the game-show circuit to her unforgettable roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls, and Hot in Cleveland, she was the first lady of television. With her irreverent wit and comedic timing, she was a force of nature forever cherished by fans young and old.
In Betty White’s Pearls of Wisdom, listeners will find a more intimate look into Betty’s life as told through the eyes of Patty Sullivan, her lifelong friend and adopted family member. “My remembrances are perhaps an echo of things already said, but I hope my stories hold up a mirror, another reflection of her essence and how she affected my life so profoundly.”
Patty met Betty in the late 1960s, and the Sullivans–Patty, her husband, Tom, and their two children–enjoyed a rich relationship and amazing closeness through Betty’s final days. Through her stories we see Betty’s fun-loving banter over a game of Scrabble, her wisdom imparted on a moonlit Christmas sleigh ride, and her passionate advocacy for all members of the animal kingdom. Betty’s uncompromising values were the authentic core of the life she lived and savored–tasting every minute along the way.
Betty White’s Pearls of Wisdom gives you a glimpse into the personal relationship with “her Sullivans,” and the pearls of wisdom she imparted that forever transformed their lives.

During a summer spent on Cape Cod, she met her husband, Tom Sullivan, a Harvard student at the time, who was playing piano, singing, and enchanting local restaurant patrons who included Betty White and her husband, Allen Ludden, in town for summer stock. They became mentors and beloved lifetime friends. Their loving marriage inspired Tom and Patty who have been married for fifty-three years and have two grown children, Blythe and Tom Jr. (Sully).
While raising their family, Patty traveled with Tom for his music concerts and television appearances as well as thousands of motivational speaking engagements across the country.
