I've always enjoyed Sarah Polley's work as an actor and director and she does an excellent job narrating her own audiobook.  Like her acclaimed film Stories We Tell, these essays frequently examine the nature of memory and the narratives we tell ourselves about ourselves.  I found her ruminations on her child acting experiences, as well as the moving story of her high-risk pregnancy and daughter's stay in the NICU, particularly compelling.

challenging emotional funny reflective sad tense medium-paced

Thought provoking and at times gut-wrenching. It takes a lot to do this much self-reflection, let alone write it all in a book for the world to judge. It is raw, honest, and it seems like it would be very cathartic if these stories were left untold in her heart. Feeling misunderstood is a hard feeling, and I hope she feels more understood after this
