Earth to Moon: A Memoir by Moon Unit Zappa
US pub date - 8/20/24
Poignant, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once.
What was it like trying to be yourself in a family so centered on one that others needs weren’t prioritized? Learning who you are, growing up the eldest child of a ‘celebrity’ in Los Angeles, learning to trust others when many people view you as an extension of that parent? As a member gen x, and mother of young adults, growing up is painful and difficult enough on it’s own (regardless of time of birth), imagining doing it how the author had to made me wish I could give her a mug of tea and a hug.
Having been going through my own journey to a more peaceful be-ing, reading what Moon shared of her own journey really resonated with me. I finished this memoir with tears in my eyes and nothing but well wishes for the author and her family.
I recommend this one to anyone struggling with their footing on their own journey.
Thank you to Dey Street Books and NetGalley for the DRC
