Non-Fiction Memoir
Raised by unconventional Irish Catholics who knew "how to
drink, how to dance, how to talk, and how to stir up the
devil," Kate Mulgrew grew up with poetry and drama in her
bones. But in her mother, a would-be artist burdened by the
endless arrival of new babies, young Kate saw the
consequences of a dream deferred. Determined to pursue her
own no matter the cost, at 18 she left her small Midwestern
town for New York, where, studying with the legendary Stella
Adler, she learned the lesson that would define her as an
actress: "Use it," Adler told her. Whatever disappointment,
pain, or anger life throws in your path, channel it into the
work.
It was a lesson she would need. At twenty-two,
just as her career was taking off, she became pregnant and
gave birth to a daughter. Having already signed the adoption
papers, she was allowed only a fleeting glimpse of her
child. As her star continued to rise, her life became
increasingly demanding and fulfilling, a whirlwind of
passionate love affairs, life-saving friendships, and
bone-crunching work. Through it all, Mulgrew remained
haunted by the loss of her daughter, until, two decades
later, she found the courage to face the past and step into
the most challenging role of her life, both on and off
screen.
We know Kate Mulgrew for the strong women
she's played--Captain Janeway on Star Trek; the
tough-as-nails "Red" on Orange is the New Black.
Now, we meet the most inspiring and memorable character of
all: herself. By turns irreverent and soulful,
laugh-out-loud funny and heart-piercingly sad, BORN WITH
TEETH is the breathtaking memoir of a woman who dares to
live life to the fullest, on her own terms
