In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Goldbergi shares many of the deeply personal stories of her life growing up with her brother impoverished teenage mother for the first time. Growing up in the projects in New York City, there were trips to Coney Island, the Ice Capades, and museums, and every Christmas was a magical experience. Like her one-woman show in the 80s that I still consider to be one of the finest productions ever written, this book will make you laugh, cry and think.
