High on Arrival

This month’s read is a tell-all tale by popular A-lister Mackenzie Phillips. In this epic biography Ms. Phillips dishes all the dirt on family, addiction, and the pressures of growing up in the brilliant bright lights of Hollywood. A lot of people are asking, "Mackenzie, why write a biography now while you are in the prime of your life and the peak of your career? Why not wait till you can look back on a life full of achievement and accolades?" Well, perhaps she already has a life full of achievement. Perhaps she needed to heal old wounds with some cathartic writing. Or perhaps she needed a paycheck to buy some of that crack she claims to no longer be taking. I'll leave that for you, the readers and members of the esteemed Finer Things Book Club, to judge.
