We're Going to Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True by Gabrielle Union

This collection of stories from Gabrielle Union was powerful. I listened on audiobook. Hearing her talk about how she came into her own identity, and how she supports the children she is raising alongside her husband, was very enlightening and also sobering at times. Her last story brought tears to my eyes. Her struggle with issues that exist around parenthood, step-parenthood, and IVF hit me hard. Her description of her rape and how the men around her took it so personally - that was extremely hard hitting and resonated with me strongly. All of the book was well written and I enjoyed hearing her tell the story through the audiobook. That said, I wanted to know a little bit more about how she became an actress: what made her want to go into this field? I wanted a little more of her story, her background. But all I did hear pulled me in.
