Earth to Moon is a darkly funny, unflinching exploration of celebrity culture, family relationships and the ghosts of the past: a powerful takedown of the rose-tinted popular myth of the 70s and 80s West Coast scene, from within the belly of the beast of the rock and roll world.
For Moon Unit Zappa, daughter of musician Frank Zappa and his 'manager', Gail, life has always been utterly extraordinary.
Born into music royalty in 1967, Moon was a child star by age 14. But what are the consequences of growing up famous, in front of the camera and on stage, in a family who spend most of their time naked, practicing white magic in a free-for-all state of nonconformist, hippy abandon?
'Gripping, hilarious and often mesmerising, this warts and all account of bohemian family life shines a light on the damaging effects of fame in the golden age of the counterculture.' *Adelle Stripe*
'Anyone how has ever felt lost, weird, confused, disempowered, underutilised, horny, dismissed, then spoke up and took the high road will love this book as much as I do' *Kyle Richards*
'With unflinching detail and sharp, witty prose, Moon captures both the specificity and universality of an aloneness that comes from being raised by narcissists' *Ariel Leve*
'Rich with detail, this excellent book does not let you escape the feeling of being there and experiencing that life for yourself' *Justine Bateman*
'Every family is locked into its own form of dysfunction - but Earth to Moon is written with so much authenticity you cannot help but feel connected' *Rosanna Arquette*
'Will uplift you, inspire you and blow your mind' *Pamela Des Barres*
