In a nut shell, I loved this book. Written in 2020 it was nice to hear from Janeway herself about herself. Most of the book is about Janeway's childhood and family. I listened to the audio book so having "Janeway" reading her own book was very comforting.

Now, the book does talk about her time from the Delta Quadrant but it's more of a summation of years and the outstanding facts not in the logs ("shows"). It also gives her side of the story, right or wrong, of some of her actions during her time there. It does not go into too much detail. And that is the unfortunate part. There is a balance the editor Una McCormack had made in how the stories of Janeway's life are written. Everything is a bit of a summary. Though the details in her early life are there; there is still a summation view over the years. But that was the only downside.

I loved listening to Janeway talk about her life, her decisions, her disappointments, and heartaches. But also, to her challenges and how she rose to meet them to become the Starfleet Captain, now Admiral.
