Finally, Carrie Fisher comes clean (well, sort of) with the crazy truth that is her life. Intimate, hilarious, and sobering, it is an incredible tale. She reveals what it was like to be the child of Hollywood royalty - Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher - home-wrecked by Elizabeth Taylor, come of age on the set of a liitle movie called Star Wars, become a cultural icon and bestselling action figure at the age of nineteen, marry (then divorce, then date) Paul Simon, learn the father of her daughter forgot to tell her he was gay, and write four hit novels.
But it isn't all sweetness and light sabres. Battling addiction and weathering the wild ride of manic depression, this is Carrie Fisher at her best - revealing her worst. She tells her true and outrageous story with inimitable wit, unbashed self-deprecation, and buoyant, infectious humour.
