I thoroughly enjoyed 'Home, Jayne' - a memoir spanning decades, centering on a mid-west young woman's journey into the entertainment world, first in New York city then on to Los Angeles. Like many young women trying to find their path, it recounts a winding road that takes Frances into worlds I'm sure she never imagined, peppered with famous folks, swindlers and enduring friendships along the way. There are many challenges, all told with honesty and humor. Most striking is the author's ability to reinvent herself many times over, gaining spiritual clarity and inner-confidence which propels her forward despite some crushing betrayals. If you're looking for a story about 'making it' in Hollywood, and all the ways that life can alter original 'plans', you will enjoy reading this satisfying memoir ultimately about reinvention and finding hope despite obstacles.
