Born with Teeth by Kate Mulgrew

4.0

Star Trek Voyager was my first foray into the Star Trek universe and so, of course, I’ve been in love with Kate Mulgrew’s Capitan Janeway ever since. While Star Trek is touched upon near the end of the book, it is not a main topic of this memoir - and I think for good reason. Kate Mulgrew has had a LIFE!

Some of the stories she tells seem so out there that you question if they could possibly be true, but at the same time, the stories are presented with such honesty - especially hearing it in her (magnificent) voice in the audiobook - that you are convinced they must be true. This is a book about family issues, trauma, a life on the stage and screen, but most of all, it’s about love - loving her significant others, loving her children, and I think in many ways, about loving herself.

This only covers her life through the early 2000s, so it will be interesting to see if she writes more to talk about everything she’s done since then!
