Summary:
Raised in the South Bronx and beloved for the diverse and captivating characters she's played, Debbi Morgan enjoyed a thirty-year tenure on All My Children. She also co-starred in the biopic The Hurricane opposite Denzel Washington and the haunting film Eve's Bayou opposite Samuel L. Jackson. But this book is not about her career, and it's not about Hollywood. It's not even about her rise to daytime stardom. Charting her family story as well as her own life from childhood to the present in this compelling memoir, Debbi reveals the fear, the doubt, and insecurities she's struggled with for much of her life -- and how she escaped a vicious cycle of pain to find self-confidence, happiness, and success.
