I have to say that I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this. This is the first volume of Shirley Temple Black's autobiography (I don't know if she ever got around to writing the second one). It covers her birth through the birth of her third. Filled with wonderful insights into her career, her upbringing and life in Hollywood, this is an engaging read. I was particularly struck by her general attitude toward everything in her life-which boils down to it is what it is and it was what it was. She lead an extraordinary life as the biggest star int he world as a little girl as well as finding her self a wife and mother (and later in life her amazing career in the foreign service).
