About The Book
From the idyllic sprout-and-yogurt San Fernando seventies; to the idyllic painter's-cap-and-bandanna eighties; to the idyllic, heroin-clouded Viper Room nineties; to the idyllic Botox-infused present, Stacey Grenrock Woods has experienced a prototypically Southern California life on the margins of fame, which is roughly the equivalent of a prototypical American life, isn't it?

Raves and Reviews
"With nothing more than working knowledge of a keyboard, Stacey Grenrock Woods has triumphed! I am humbled by her intellect, her grace, her wit, and her patriotism. Also, the nude scenes are quite good."
-- Stephen Colbert
"As I read this book I laughed, I cried, and shouted out, 'Oooh, I've thought that!' but I could never have written it down as brilliantly as Stacey Grenrock Woods. A truly funny girl who has posed for Playboy -- yes, one exists."
-- Tracey Ullman
"Funny and brilliant. I loved every word of it, especially words like 'eczema' and 'greatcoat.' Stacey Grenrock Woods has such an original voice. California is lucky to have her. They should name a stretch of highway after her or something."
-- A. J. Jacobs, author of The Know-It-All
"Sunny heartbreak, with sarcasm that draws blood."
