Riassunto

Traces the rise and fall of the author, a privileged Manhattan daughter of an emotionally distant father and alcoholic mother, whose own acting-out behaviors in childhood culminated in a dangerous drug addiction in her early adult years, a period marked by her attendance at an isolated private school and free-falling East Village parties.
