The author writes in clear, unambiguous prose about her insights into a life on the stage, around the stage, and around a multitude of artists. She draws on the wisdom of living legends she has encountered and weaves it alongside stories of her own friendships based in creativity. She challenges budding artists to examine their own motives and prepare for a life in pursuit of passion. Having seen the author speak and perform live, I can say her book is just as honest and almost as thought-provoking. Enjoy her journey..
