Very interesting look at her life. Totally believeable, especially in light of struggles. Wishing her the very best luck in maintaining. ( )

This book could also be titled “Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll”. Mackenzie Phillips, star of “One Day at a Time” and daughter of John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas writes a candid memoir of her life.
In polite terms, her dad was a jerk. He did not protect her, she was unsupervised and literally left to fend for herself. Her life was very sad. Mackenzie was high during most of the filming of “One Day at a Time” She functioned until she could not. After 13 years of drug addiction and being blacklisted in Hollywood, she cleaned up her act and became a functioning adult and a mother to her son. She fell back into drugs again after being put on pain killers after surgery. She became sober a second time, with the help of family and friends. ( )

A 'drunkalog' of MacKensies life, which was brought on by a father with absolutely no idea of how to parent; no rules whatsoever. Mackensie was raped at 13 and got high at 11. He father let Mick Jagger have sex with her and later states a sexual relationship with her. A tragic story but it appears MacKensie has overcome her addiction. ( )

Well....this is the daughter of "Papa" John Phillips founder of the Mamas & Papas.......and this book backs up my beliefs that it is up to the parents how their children turn out. At 10 years old he had Laura rolling his joints....and from there it was one step to her stealing his drugs and becoming an addict.

Her mother had little or no say so, especially after she married for a second time Lenny (who would beat the hell out of her)...thus prompting Laura to move in with John & his current wife.....

What a wasted (no pun intended) life.

Un dolor de cabeza. Y no tiene nada que ver con el estilo de escritura, sino con los acontecimientos que se relatan.
