I haven't known a more inspirational life and talent than the one described in these pages. One of the true gems in my career is Geri Jewell. -- Norman Lear


"""Geri Jewell is not only a fabulous comedienne, actress, and motivational speaker, but advocating for people with disabilities has made a difference in the lives of millions. Lord knows she's had an impact on my life! Granted, if she could just sit still, I could read her lips once in a while!"" -- Kathy Buckley, Comedian and Actress ""I have known, admired, and adored Geri Jewell since the beginning of her comedy career. She is not only brilliant and funny, she has overcome an impossible obstacle in Hollywood; she's a brunette."" -- Elayne Boosler, Comedian, Writer, and Founder of Tails of Joy ""I laughed, I cried, and then stood up and applauded when I finished reading Geri's book. It's much more than a great read, it's a salute to the human spirit and an inspiration for anyone with a dream."" -- Anson Williams, actor/director ""I haven't known a more inspirational life and talent than the one described in these pages. One of the true gems in my career is Geri Jewell."" -- Norman Lear ""Geri is a natural at whatever she does. It was a joy to work with her. It's a joy to read this book."" -- Ian McShane, actor (Al Swearengen in Deadwood)"
