In the era of “Mad Men,” a page-turning true story full of candid Hollywood comedy and tragedy.
When the daughter of a television executive father loses her way, it takes determined courage, resilience, and a super-human memory for her to discover what happened.
Growing up during the golden age of television, older daughter Trish is wedged between talkative, fidgety older brother Spencer and bubbly, pink-sequined younger sister Grace. Trish grows into a tomboy and the family golden child – unwittingly providing fuel for her narcissist father’s cruelty. Add an alcoholic wannabe movie star mother and a Southern California community full of itself like no other and you have the ingredients for an unforgettable story.
Trish’s family implodes and she descends into a desperate world of addiction and risk – drug abuse, videotaped suicide, same-sex relationships, and an overseas kidnapping attempt – all unimaginable from the spoiled, fantasy life of her childhood. You’ll find yourself shaking your head in wonder as the author uses her wide-angle (fisheye) observations to guide us through jaw-dropping experiences. Personal, honest, and shocking, Fisheye is a story that you shouldn’t miss.
