Non-Fiction Memoir
A wryly funny and surprisingly moving account of an
extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public
eye A teen idol at fifteen, an international icon
and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of
Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his
experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio
uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu,
where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in
Hollywood. The Outsiders placed Lowe at the
birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment
industry. During his time on The West Wing, he
witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics
both on the set and in the actual White House. And in
between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses
that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family
and sobriety. Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe
delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes,
disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters
with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five
years. These stories are as entertaining as they are
unforgettable.
