More about the book
In The Unreachable My Unauthorized Travels with Patti LuPone , author Maile Hernandez shares her story of following a Broadway legend on tour with star-struck enthrallment and her struggles as a mother to an autistic child. Dramatic in all the right ways, this poignant and reflective memoir reads as a deeply felt confession that wades through the waters of what it means to sail upon the shores of self-revelation. As lively and lilting as a memoir can be, there is an often self-deprecating tone, which reads as the tender weight of a life that inadvertently went off-course. A lawyer-turned-overwhelmed-parent began to renew her old singing and acting career after realizing a long-sought childhood dream of seeing Patti LuPone (of Gypsy, Sweeney Todd , and Evita ) live on Broadway. With poise and grace, Hernandez paints a vivid picture of what success is – as a wife, as a mother, and as a performer – and shares an inspired tale of what it takes to keep reaching for unreachable stars.
