THIS IS ME Loving the Person You are Today

Fans of the NBC show "This is Us" will listen with rapt attention as one of its lead actors, Chrissy Metz, bares her soul. Metz recounts the unflinching details of her turbulent journey to fame in a contemplative voice that draws the listener closer with empathy. Her anecdotes are delivered in a husky, raspy voice that underscores the intimacy of her ruminations. From lunch with Oprah to chore lists made by her stepfather, Metz enlivens each scene as if she were performing a one-woman play. Her ability to convey Southern accents, a range of ages, and the humor of the darkest moments keep the listener engaged while waiting for the glitz of Metz's Hollywood success.
