I picked this up upon learning that Kerry Washington, like me, learned as an adult that she was donor-conceived. It is a memoir that is not about that and completely focused on it—what is helpful to another writer is how she reflects on and illustrates a rippling sense of unease and tension she has felt throughout her life but never understood. The construction and choices she makes are informative and helpful in understanding craft choices, though I feel a super fan of her acting would appreciate the in between a lot more.

I already loved Kerry Washington and listening to this book just made me love and appreciate her and her work so much more. Kerry was very vulnerable with her life experiences, exploring identity, belonging, complex family relationships, trauma, physical and mental health, and parenthood. Her own narration for the audiobook was icing on the cake.
