The listing, High On Arrival by Mackenzie Phillips a Memoir has ended.
This is a Brand New Book!
This is a Memoir by Mackenzie Phillips, actress on the TV program, One Day At A Time along with Valerie Bertinelli.
She tells of her unusual childhood of being the daughter of rock n roll singer John Phillips of the musical group, The Mamas and the Papas.
And how she grew up in a hippie culture where everyone was using drugs and free sex was the norm.
She says that she made,"pot brownies" at the young age of 11 years.
But the most painful and shocking thing that she reveals and has had to come to terms with in this book is the incestuous relationship that she had with her father that lasted into her adult years. And why it lasted so long.
Growing up where drugs were always around it's no surprise that she wound up addicted to them just like her father and tells of her near death experiences due to overdosing.
Shortly before her 50th birthday Mackenzie walked into Los Angeles Airport on her way for a reunion of One Day At A Time. Within minutes of entering security checkpoint she was handcuffed and arrested for posession of heroin and cocaine.
She wrote this book she says in the hope that it might help other girls who have been in similar situations involving incest and helping them to come to terms with it and tells of her own guilt and shame and the secret that she held for so many years that almost killed her.
