Mulgrew writes with a erudite wit that’s ever captivating and frequently emotional. Hers has been an extraordinary life of hardship and privilege, and her experience is uplifting and inspiring. A wonderful read for fans looking for her life story. Don’t expect many specific details about her work—this is not that story. Her career is painted here in broad strokes, with most of her focus aimed at her life overall. Potentially disappointing for those looking for juicy stories or salacious depictions of Hollywood living. This is a story of loss and hope, hardship and success, failure and triumph. What an amazing life.
