Early Reader Reviews ""With the assured voice of a seasoned storyteller, Anthony pulls no punches about the obstacles he faced in his early life and as an untried actor confronting the realities of making it in Hollywood. Aspiring actors will be well served if this book helps them avoid even some of the pitfalls he experienced."" Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, New York Times bestselling authors ""It's honest about what it means to grapple with pain and loss, insecurity and trauma, all the dark stuff of life, but it also has much to say about what it is to develop poise, what it is to find a growth of confidence, and grace, in spite of - perhaps because of - all that dark stuff. Real dark stuff. Anthony's journey is an inspiriting journey, finally, and that's the kind of story that never gets old."" Excerpt from the Foreword by John Billingsley, Hollywood veteran actor ""Thank you to Mr. Montgomery for letting readers into his life. There is a lot of childhood drama and trauma, but also career, family, pain, laughter, and lessons learned. The book is well written and flows seamlessly, connecting each stage of life."" detcan91, Amazon reviewer ""The chapter titles being Star Trek episodes made me smile right away. This is a painful and honest story of a child in desperate circumstances and how those experiences shaped his choices. I read it in less than a day. It is hard to put down, and I am certain there is more to this story."" Howard and Sandi, Amazon reviewers
