Really enjoyed listening to Kerry narrate her own book. A lot of heavy topics in this one, though it also offers glimpses into filming/pursuing acting as a career (which is a single facet of the multi-facets of her life).

It was just a bit too slow for me. I wanted to jump into the story sooner and I felt like it was taking too long to get to the real story—which was about how she felt upon finding out about her lineage.

This did everything you could hope for from a memoir, and was heavy and emotional and uplifting and lovely. Full review to come!This did everything you could hope for from a memoir, and was heavy and emotional and uplifting and lovely. I really enjoyed my read—hearing the book in Kerry’s own voice was a fantastic and immersive experience, and I thought she was incredibly open and vulnerable with all that she shared. If you enjoy memoirs and/or are a fan of Kerry, I definitely recommend picking this one up!
