In August 2010, Whoopi Goldberg's phone rang with the words that shatter a world: "Caryn, Ma died." Just hours earlier, they'd laughed together on FaceTime about grandkids and roses, ending as they always did with "Is there anything else you think I should know?" followed by "I love you"-their just-in-case ritual that had suddenly become prophetic. Five years later, her brother Clyde would die from an aneurysm too, leaving Whoopi as the sole keeper of their family's memories. "Probably none of us had the childhoods we think we had," she reflects. "We only have our individual memories of what we believe happened." This memoir isn't just celebrity storytelling-it's a daughter's love letter to the woman who transformed Caryn Johnson from a "little weird kid" in the Chelsea projects into an EGOT-winning icon. Emma Johnson's philosophy was simple yet revolutionary: "The confines of this neighborhood do not represent the confines of your life." Those words became the foundation of everything Whoopi would become.
