A wild, poignant ride As the daughter of America's favorite counterculture comedian, Kelly Carlin gives us firsthand experience of the joy, pain, and tumult of growing up in the Carlin household. Both extremely personal and universal, it's a story of birth, loss, love, and homecoming. Well done, Ms. Carlin!. 7 words you can always say about this bookprofound, bittersweet, honest, addictive (in a good way ), nostalgic, laugh out l Lynn DiDiano Kelly writes a great book about life with her mom and dad and herself.

Filled with wit, charm, and genuine, if not extraordinary prose. A brave and, naturally, hilarious book.” Dana Gould“In the hands of an accomplished writer, with a lifetime supply of research, this story would be a fascinating read. Ms. Bravo, Kelly!” Kevin Pollak“Kelly Carlin has humanized her father, in a way that doesn't hold back and through her brilliant writing, brings him to life in a whole new way. Her personal growth and awareness of self is inspiring. Carlin opens the flood lights onto her childhood and the dysfunction in her house and in her mind. There is a landing spot.
