I am of the generation that knows Sharon Gless from Burn Notice. I have never seen an episode of Cagney and Lacey and I read this book because it was a new release and I enjoy celebrity memoirs. I completely did not know what to expect going in.

What I discovered is that Gless has been through so many challenges, in her childhood and as an adult, specifically with addiction. She managed to make such a good life through those hardships. And just by the sheer determination to be herself, she forged a ground breaking role and changed the future of TV opportunities for women. 

I really enjoyed Gless’ narration and highly recommend this as an audiobook. Her emotion and amusement as she walked back through her life was apparent in her voice and so enjoyable. It rarely felt like she was holding back and the raw honesty was a highlight of this book for me. If you enjoy celebrity memoirs, I think you should give this one a try.
