And So It Is...: A Memoir of Acceptance and Hope

Summary

The star of the legendary HBO series The Sopranos and podcast co-host with Christina Applegate, Jamie Lynn Sigler opens up about the vicissitudes of life, from early stardom to heartache and love, motherhood and illness, offering readers an unflinchingly vulnerable exploration of the experiences that have transformed her life.

Jamie Lynn Sigler is both the girl-next-door and a superstar. Tapped at the young age of sixteen to star as Meadow Soprano, daughter of mob boss, Tony Soprano, by the time the series ended in 2007, Jamie, then twenty-five, suffered from an eating disorder, kept private her diagnosis of MS, and entered a disastrous early marriage—all under the scrutiny of a less-than-kind public eye. Over the next years, Jamie would remarry, become a mother, launch a hugely popular podcast and, most recently, nearly lose her beloved son to a mysterious illness. 

Amidst the stardust showered and all the slings and arrows that life has thrown, Sigler emerges with incredible grace and a generosity of spirit that she is ready to share. In this moving and fiercely honest memoir, she reflects on her life and her years on The Sopranos. But this is no tale of woe; Jamie is a clear-eyed and generous spirit who has learned and grown from her life experiences, no matter how challenging. A natural storyteller, she shares memories of her time portraying Meadow Soprano and beyond, including her often painful journey of self-discovery. In this unflinching account, Jamie holds nothing back, and her vulnerability, resilience, candor, and generosity of spirit shine through on every page.

And So It Is... offers the best of memoir from a cherished voice that invites us into life’s intimate journey—both challenging and blessed. A triumphant story from one of America’s favorite stars.
