Jarrett lives with his grandparents - two very loud, very loving, very opinionated people who had thought they were through with raising children until Jarrett came along.. . Only as a teenager can Jarrett begin to piece together the truth of his family, reckoning with his mother and tracking down his father." SIGNED on the title page and dated in 2018.

New York: Scribner, (2007). First edition - The author's first book, one which attempts to explore why - when told her mother was in a coma and would not survive - she did not go to her. She describes her life as the daughter of a narcissistic and addictive mother - but also a glamorous and charismatic one - who lived in a world of compulsive lies, and dependence on cocaine, narcotics, and sex - all things to which she introduced her daughter. "The glory of this memoir is that the author survived her traumatic childhood and somehow navigated her way to a deftly written book capturing her dismantled youth. . . we are allowed to feel the strange and powerful familial currencies running between mother and daughter through the keenly observed writing of Sonnenberg." (Molly Jay) An uncommon advance issue.
