In Pieces

This honest and often emotional memoir covers Sally's dysfunctional childhood, failed marriages and successful television and film career. Although this is an entertainment industry-based memoir, at the heart of her writing were issues and needs that many women continue to have: trying to find a voice, maintaining a career path and balancing a family life while being a single parent, and the constant struggle to maintain relationships with siblings, husbands, children and parents. It was fascinating to read about the making of her shows and films, especially since I had seen pretty much everything that she had ever been in. She is human and this memoir fleshes out her flaws and mistakes. Despite all of that, I still think she is an amazing person and fabulous actress. This is well worth a read or maybe two or three reads.
