I half-expected, half-feared that this would be a soft-focus, rosy-hued hagiography of Shapiro's beloved past teachers. Instead, it was honest, critical, inspiring and insightful. I did wonder if Shapiro went easy on herself. She spent a great deal of time explaining her own motivations. Since this was a memoir, there was far less insight into the mentors whose laundry gets aired in here. I liked this, but I suspect I might not like it if I were one of the people profiled.
