Book Review: Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life by Julianna Margulies

Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life

Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life by Julianna Margulies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Julianna Margulies had a very unstable childhood due to her parents' divorce when she was quite young.  She and her older sister had to become self-sufficient very early in life.  Her mother was quite a free spirit, whereas her father was more traditional and conventional.  The family lived in England while her father was still in the U.S., making it difficult to shuttle back and forth.  She always wanted to spend more time with her father and get to know him better.  She was very driven, always striving to do well in school, and starting to take jobs when she was just 14.  This helped to develop her incredible work ethic.  I'm a real fan of her work on both ER and The Good Wife.  I was anxious to read more backstory about her work on these two shows, but there were just two chapters devoted to this part of her life.  Overall, this was a very interesting story about her life.
