I have always loved Marlee Matlin as an actress so I was glad to pick up this autobiography. Her life story is fascinating and I really enjoyed hearing about her experiences and history.

Marlee Matlin overcame a lot to get where she is, and I'm not talking about d/Deafness. She had rocky romantic relationships and maybe not the most solid parenting. Still, she really thrived. I imagine there are a lot of feelings about her in Deaf communities. She has other awkward politics, as well, like being married to a cop. I returned the book before grabbing what she wrote about the uprising after Rodney King's abusers were not convicted, but it was definitely...what someone married to someone in law enforcement would say.
