challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

I LOVED this memoir. It felt so incredibly authentic and hard and real and scary. It's definitely not a happy story, but it felt like reading Ms. Field's journals. Truly fuck everyone who made her life so rough. I will definitely want to revisit this one. I think this would be really interesting to analyze from a PTSD and coping mechanisms. And note to self - this was one of the one where all of the annotations disappeared on the Kobo.

Picked this up on a whim since I needed a new audiobook and it was fine. It felt like Field focused so much on her early career that there was no time left to discuss any of her later career. Even <i> Norma Rae, </i> which gave her her first Oscar was barely discussed. This was a heavy read that covered a lot of hard topics, and I appreciate Field for not shying away from them, but it was hard to read about all the challenges of her life and few of the highlights.
