A review by inthecommonhours
Born with Teeth by Kate Mulgrew

4.0

Audioread that I fully enjoyed. I didn't know Mulgrew by name---but I heard her interview on Diane Rehm a couple years ago, and realized I knew her work well. As a young Irish Catholic girl with a mother who watched All My Children, I was aware of Ryan's Hope, and I loved Mrs. Columbo (because I was madly in love with Peter Falk as a young girl), which I think I must have watched as a 10 year old because I don't think it was on long enough for reruns. And after hating Star Trek most of my childhood, Voyager was the series that Brian used to pull me in. I haven't seen OITNB yet.

But this isn't a memoir about Hollywood---it is a fully-formed memoir about identify and daughter-hood as well as motherhood, about passion and responsibility and the vicissitudes of life.
