Casey and her little sister, Christine, started off with what looked like a good beginning. But looks can be deceiving. Their mother, Eve Whitney, a stunning Hollywood beauty, didn't much care for children. Their father, Eddie Maxwell, was a successful songwriter and gag man; he was a brilliant, handsome, hugely charismatic man, but he had a secret drug habit that sent him careening between warm and loving parent one day, to hair-trigger monster the next.
If Casey got only sporadic moments of love and caring, Chris got nothing. Neither Eddie nor Eve ever had a kind thought for their youngest child. And so the sisters were forced to find their own paths through this horrific excuse of a childhood, each making choices that pulled them farther and farther apart when the one thing they needed was each other.
Told without an ounce of self-pity or bitterness, this story is unique as well as universal. The scenes of pain and incredible neglect live side by side with amazing moments of humor, courage, and triumph.
Contains mature themes.

My emotions were all over the place but mostly hovered over shock, sorrow, and horror. I also found it difficult to listen to her spin her parents' narcissism and neglect into something positive. While I knew she was trying to draw what good from them that she could without going so far as to excuse them, I had a hard time accepting some of it as an outsider looking in. Overall, though, the whole memoir is a reminder of how important love, kindness, nurturing, and parental self-sacrifice are to the healthy development of a human being. May similarly awful parents read this book and get the wake-up call they need to make changes and save their children before it's too late!
As a side note, the narrator was excellent; I often forgot she was a hired actress, not the author herself.
