UNTIED A Memoir of Family, Fame, and Floundering

Actress Meredith Baxter’s memoir is an honest and personal reflection on her journey to maturity and self-actualization. She delivers her story as if she and the listener are sharing tea. One quickly feels at home as she recounts her apprehension at telling the world her truths—from her discovery of her lesbianism and path to her life partner to her awakenings regarding other relationships and the blossoming of her acting career. In each chapter, her emphatic delivery suggests an humorous and blunt directness. With wit and a keen sense of timing, she delivers accounts of the abuse, neglect, insecurity that led to crisis and self-discovery. At times, the story seems overly long, yet Baxter keeps the listener engaged. H.E.F. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2011]
