screen was truly a delight. Now, out of nowhere, she has written a most
wonderful book about her family and herself. It’s warm, it’s touching, and it’s a book that speaks of the human experience—the wonders of it,
the magic of it, the difficulties of it, the history of a life’s
unfolding, beautifully and brilliantly with purpose and with guts.”
