Initially, her father was a mythical figure, rarely present in her life. As she matured, his interest grew, introducing her to a world of mansions and private schools. However, his attention was often coupled with coldness and unpredictability. After a strained relationship with her mother in high school, Lisa moved in with her father, hoping for the connection she always desired. This poignant coming-of-age story serves as both a portrait of a complex family and a love letter to California in the seventies and eighties. Praised for its intimate portrayal, the memoir leaves readers with a sense of resilience and a loving remembrance of a flawed but impactful father.
