  Born into privilege and Hollywood royalty, Carrie Fisher has been a movie star, a bestselling author, and one of the hottest script doctors in Hollywood. Her tumultuous life has been fodder for her hilarious and often scathing novels: in POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE she turned her gimlet eye to drug addiction and rehab, SURRENDER THE PINK examined modern romance, and DELUSIONS OF GRANDMA explored the rocky terrain of pregnancy and motherhood. In her latest book, Carrie moves into the territory occupied by Sylvia Plath and Susanna Kaysen in a darkly funny portrait of a woman who survives a psychotic breakdown, a stay in 'the bin', and survives to tell all.

  Suzanne Vale is back - juggling ex-husband, ex-stardom, ex-addiction, current motherhood and approaching breakdown. She's just about getting by. But 'just about' isn't enough. When Suzanne decides to become the best - the best partner, the best mother, the best company and daughter and celebrity - slowly (and then very quickly) her life gets out of control. Carrie Fisher is a Hollywood legend - the daughter of stars, she became one herself. She is the bestselling author of three novels and a sought-after screenwriter. She and her daughter Billie live in Los Angeles.
