In warmly nostalgic later chapters, the book begins to glow."<br /> <em>--Entertainment Weekly</em> "A delightful remembrance of her own childhood, and an engrossing prelude to her cinematic career . . . Andrews is an accomplished writer who holds back nothing while adding a patina of poetry to the antics and anecdotes throughout this memoir of bittersweet backstage encounters and theatrical triumphs."<br /> <em>--Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review) "Frank and fascinating . . .
