"Kelly is so piercingly honest, you just want to reach out and give her a hug...It’s totally gripping: I couldn’t take my earbuds out." —Vulture

"Kelly reads the book with grace, even when she gets to the tough moments, and you’ll walk away afterward with your jaw on the floor." —Shondaland

“A timely, urgent portrait of working-class American women.”
—Gabrielle Union

Minka Kelly takes listeners behind the shiny silver-screen facade and reveals just how good an actress she really is.

Fans know her as the spoiled, rich cheerleader Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights or as the affluent, mysterious Samantha on the HBO megahit Euphoria. But as revealed for the first time in these pages, Minka Kelly’s life has been anything but easy.

Raised by a single mother who worked as a stripper and struggled with addiction, Minka spent years waking up in strange apartments as she and her mom bounced around the country, relying on friends and relatives to take them in. At times they even lived in storage units. She reconnected with her father, Aerosmith’s Rick Dufay, and eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she landed the role of a lifetime on Friday Night Lights.

Now an established actress and philanthropist, Minka takes this next step in her career as a writer. She has poured her soul into this audiobook, which ultimately tells a story of triumph over adversity, and how resilience and love are all we have in the end.

From trauma to grateful

Minka Kelly’s herstory is told with honesty and strength. I was raised by a teen mom and I related to a lot of her early years. Minka survived, overcame, and is still processing with her head held high as I still am at 67.

Loved it.

A great read, Highly recommend this book. I was captivated from the beginning. Read it.

So glad she had the courage!!!

Heartfelt, Amazing, encouraging, and life-giving. Thank you Minka for telling your honest story and drawing us together as women!

Best Memoir of the year

This is incredible work, Minka is such an insightful, intelligent, beautiful person and it shows in her story and writing. Her strength, self reflection and compassion shine through the whole story. Difficult but beautiful.

A story I didn’t know I needed to hear

Absolutely loved this book. I can relate to a lot of her experiences and feelings, young and older. I knew nothing about her before this but was drawn to the title and well, I’m so glad I picked it up. Thank you, Minka for showing me there is a space to heal.
