The Mother Who Stole Her Daughter's Life

Natasha Leggero believes the world deserves her children — and yours too.

In a way, it seems she deserves everything. It’s not unusual for a mother to have a child, and she’s been blessed with a daughter named Natasha Leggero. After all, she’s seen some tough times.
