My rating: 4 of 5 stars

************** This is a First Reads ***** Thank You GoodReads ****

A memoir of Rebecca Eaton, the woman behind the last 25 years of Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! has written her story. A brief introduction of her early life and the roads that led her on the path to WGBH and PBS.
I was really impressed by this memoir simply by the way it was written - uncensored, as if I had sat down to tea with a friend who was telling me stories. Although those stories involved some very personal pains of being a career woman and miscarriages and some laugh out loud moments involving Vincent Price's other half Coral Browne. Ms. Eaton did not skim over the moments that she made some decisions that she wish she could taken back, or those that she second guessed, or the ones ones that she went full force with her gut.
With all the knowledge, the people, the experience, the awards behind the woman that makes up Rebecca Eaton, there is a driven, humble, second guessing, funny, personable, smart, amazing person that comes out of the book and befriends the reader.
