A deeply personal and electrifying memoir by Ellen Burstyn, renowned actress and six-time Academy Award nominee.

By the time Ellen Burstyn arrived in New York to study acting, she'd already worked as a Texas fashion model, a Montreal chorus girl, suffered numerous toxic relationships, and just as many name changes and spiritual paths. Theater legend Moss Hart called her "a natural" but Ellen Burstyn was still trying to discover who she was. This is the graceful story of a personal and professional quest, a life-long journey-by turns triumphant and terrifying, tragic and funny, thoughtful and illuminating.

So beautifully written you can almost smell her descriptions. What a gift to read about all the paths she took. I will always remember her prayer about the warrior on the battlefield and her conversations with Lee. Listening to her narration made it feel like you were having tea with an amazingly wise, intelligent, interesting, admirable person. And I was surprised by how relatable she felt. I couldn't wait to get back to the story each time. It was wonderful.
