If you, like me, often tune in to the show The Doctors, you will recognise the author, Dr Lisa Masterson, as the ob/gyn on the show. While the show portrays a bubbly, and fun Dr Lisa; the book lacks the same persona. After seeing her on the show, the book is a bit of a disappointment; however it is still heartwarming in its openness and honesty.
We journey with Dr Lisa as she relives her past, with a slight emphasis on her relationship with her mother (who was a single mum). The book however is very much focussed on Dr Lisa herself, even through her mum's cancer. Dr Lisa is an inspiration given how much she persevered to get to where she is today. Of course a lot of it had to do with her mum's struggle to give her the best education possible, sparing no expense.
I rate this book a 3/5. While the story was inspiring, it didn't engage me emotionally (except on the very rare occasion).
