A long-awaited, myth-busting, and deeply affecting memoir by the daughter of legendary rock star "Mama Cass" Elliot. Mama Cass, a member of the Mama & the Papas, was an independently minded, outspoken woman with a keen intellect and sharp wit who reached the heights of success in a male-dominated business and broke the mould of what it meant to be a "rock star"; a forward-thinking feminist, and, as readers learn in this deeply moving and candid memoir, a single parent who embraced motherhood from the moment Owen entered the world.
