Vera Miles’ name was familiar to me as I’d seen a few of her movies, but I really didn’t know much about her. I had no idea how extensive her body of was and had no knowledge of her personal life. It was interesting to hear how her priority was her family over her career and she didn’t regret missing out on opportunities by having one. She led an interesting life and it was good to have a book focused on her instead of her being a mention in someone else’s story.

Thank you to the author, University Press of Kentucky, and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
