The saying goes that "God only gives you what you can handle." However, that sentiment feels distant for Moon Unit, daughter of musician Frank Zappa and his 'manager,' Gail. Growing up in a chaotic, fame-laden, and unconventional household has been a unique challenge. With a deep sense of humor and unshakeable humility, she navigates the complexities of her life in this memoir. Becoming a child star at 14 after the unexpected success of her single "Valley Girl," Moon's life has been extraordinary since her birth in 1967 into a family already marked by musical genius. The consequences of growing up in a home filled with naked arguments about sexuality, extra-marital affairs, and the practice of white magic have shaped her identity. This memoir serves as a reckoning with self-esteem, the ghosts of her past, and the impact of her parents on her life. With brutally self-deprecating humor, it offers a candid perspective on the 70s and 80s west coast American scene, revealing the realities of life within the rock and roll world. Moon Unit Zappa's story is both funny and poignant, capturing the essence of her extraordinary upbringing.
