This book was a touching love letter to the author's headstrong mother and was an emotional read.

Oh yes - I honestly did not know who this was - even the whole way through - what a great read and great tribute to an amazing woman - wish I could have met her. This book also reminds me how we really have come quite far in a short period of time yet still have a long way to go. Also reminded me of Daniel Mendelson‘s book about his father.

This is a wonderful book about being a son, a brother, a gay man, a writer, a Hollywood insider, a fighter. It’s also about being a woman who had to battle her body and her world for all of her life, and to come out on the other side of each battle. I related to a hell of a lot of it, even though DLB and I would have come from very different backgrounds. He’s a terrific writer - he has undoubted moments of cheese and corn, particularly as an audiobook narrator - but overall this is a great read.
