Christine Lahti, Actress, Activist and A+ Author!

Revisado: 10-26-18

I absolutely loved this book. Christine Lahti is an insightful and very humorous writer and I could relate to so many of her stories even though our backgrounds and professions differ. This is not a typical Hollywood tell-all book but instead a "from the heart" memoir with a series of chapters about her family, her growing up, her career challenges and her emerging feminism. Listening to her tell the story enhances it because it's HER story and she delivers the words as she wants the reader to hear them. She even sings when the story calls for it, lol. I think she would do well to become a professional reader (in addition to her career in acting, directing, etc) She has a great voice, the right enthusiasm, empathy and energy to keep the reader interested. There are laugh out loud moments as well as emotional and tearful parts that touch one's soul. Her descriptions of family matters make her totally relatable because she is honest and doesn't sugarcoat the truth. I recently got to see her portrayal of Gloria Steinem in the play, "Gloria: A Life" and she continues to be a compelling and mesmerizing presence. She is truly an American treasure. I highly recommend this audiobook. It is a "must listen" (or read if you prefer) for all women and the men who love them.
