You might know Jane Lynch as the cheerleading coach everyone loves to hate on Glee, the intense lesbian dog-trainer in Best in Show, or the store manager offering to deflower Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. But before that, she was just a teenager in Dolton, Illinois, with a dream to be an actress. Here, Lynch looks back on her often-bumpy journey to success with humor and candor. All of her experiences�from moving back in with her parents at twenty-five to struggling with anxiety to selling flea collars on a home-shopping network�have made her, and her characters, stronger, wiser, and more hilarious. Today, Lynch has found the contentment she never thought she�d have, finally embracing her sexuality, finding love, and accepting herself. Part comic memoir, part inspirational narrative, this is a book for Glee fans and anyone who needs a new perspective on life, love, and success. �Heartfelt and hilarious.� �Associated Press �Look[s] back . . . with astonishing perspective.� �LA Times
