The Story

In her poignant and often darkly humorous memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, Jennette McCurdy offers a raw account of her life as a child actor, navigating the complexities of fame, family, and self-identity. From the tender age of six, Jennette was thrust into the limelight, driven by her mother's aspirations rather than her own desires.
