This book really demystified acting for me!! Even as a graduate of a university theatre program, I can recall so many times when my professors’ requests to “respond to my impulses” , “react truthfully”, or “place my attention back on my partner” seemed like insurmountable tasks. This book both affirmed and expounded upon my professors’ teachings and provided simplistic ways to “live in the moment” through acting. I can’t wait to begin implementing these tips into my acting. I think I’m a full-fledged Meisner girlie now.

I’ve never felt so whole after completing a book. This is THE best multi-generational family saga I’ve ever read (and I do love to read them). I both hated and loved that we only got to spend a chapter with each character-hated because I longed to learn so much more from each person’s life, loved because I can see how the pivotal moments of each person’s story contributed to the family more and more. Each character was unique and so beautifully and completely developed. Everything about this book was perfect. This will stick with me forever. “Welcome home”❤️
