Earth to Moon is the new critically acclaimed memoir of Moon Zappa, the eldest child of legendary rocker Frank Zappa and his wife, Gail. The book presents the often disturbing realities of growing up in the shadow of her self-absorbed, workaholic dad (a man she idolized above all others) and her bossy mother, who vented at her eldest child due, to her father’s philandering ways. The book chronicles her childhood amongst the legendary musicians of Laurel Canyon, her stints as a VJ on MTV and VH-1, her acting and writing careers, and, of course, her star-turn on her dad’s biggest tune, “Valley Girl.” My print review of this book can be found here at
