Description
"Over the course of this ... memoir, Selma lays bare her addiction to alcohol, her devotion to her brilliant and complicated mother, and the moments she flirted with death. There is brutal violence, passionate love, true friendship, the gift of motherhood, and, finally, the surprising salvation of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis"--Dust jacket flap.
Description
In her memoir, Blair lays bare her addiction to alcohol, her devotion to her brilliant and complicated mother, and the moments she flirted with death. Told she was a "mean baby" with a mouth in a perpetual snarl, she spent years living up to her reputation, behaving dramatically so that she would become the center of attention. As wildly funny as it is emotionally shatters, Blair's story of growing up and finding her truth is also full of hard-won wisdom. -- adapted from jacket
