"As the saying goes? Man plans and God laughs. Or he gives you an unconventional, famous family and a hit single by chance, even though you're not even a musician. Or he kicks your ass psychologically, emotionally, professionally and legally until you end up back among the loving living, or however you want to put it. But I'll get to all that ..." For Moon Unit Zappa, coming to terms with such a traumatizing life shaped by the whims of creative genius, the cult of pop culture, the calculus of celebrity and broken love was very often gruelling and hurtful, at times enlightening. When Moon Unit Zappa talks about growing up in the larger-than-life shadow of Frank Zappa, she transports the reader to a mythical time: the sexually free, wild world of Topanga Canyon, the hippie heaven of 1970s California. But she also tells of herself as a young woman who manages to step out of the shadows and this past and feed on it instead of being consumed by it. Moon Unit finds a narrative style, a music, a tone for each stage of her life - what remains constant is a young vulnerable woman trying to come to terms with the confusing, ever-changing demands of her family and herself. It is also Moon who manages to reconcile all these contradictions through grace, modesty and acceptance of her grief.
