I wanted to read this book particularly because I was a huge fan of the Facts of Life, if you grew up in the 80s-90s this was the show you watched. Reading about the Mother Hen (Charlotte Rae) was amazing, coming from humble beginnings to where she is today. We all can relate and also there is something encouraging when you read a biography about people who started from the bottom up. I must say I was disappointed when she left the show but the show had changed once the girls grew up. I honestly felt rather than her leaving the show, they should have kept her with a group of new girls.
If you love retro, biographies, and watched Webster or the Facts of life you will definitely enjoy this book!
I received his ARC from Netgalley, and all my views and opinions are my own.

This was a pretty quick easy read and was rather entertaining. It was pretty cool reading about the late Miss Rae and getting glimpses into her career as well as her life.
