What is this book about?
Known for her outstanding performances on the groundbreaking television series The Good Wife and ER, Julianna Margulies chronicles her life and her work in this memoir.
As an apple-cheeked bubbly child, Julianna was bestowed with the family nickname “Sunshine Girl.” Shuttled back and forth between her divorced parents, often on different continents, she quickly learned how to be of value to her eccentric mother and her absent father.
There were complicated relationships, difficult choices, and overwhelming rejections along the way to becoming an award-winning actress. But there were also the moments where fate, faith, and talent aligned, leading to the unforgettable roles of a lifetime, both professionally and personally–moments when chaos had finally turned to calm.
Filled with intimate stories and revelatory moments, Sunshine Girl is a self-portrait of a woman whose resilience in the face of turmoil will intrigue and inspire.
