Matt Ravendahl is on his way to LA in search of acceptance from the father he never knew - an aging action film star whose closet skeletons risk being crowded out by empty booze bottles. When Matt reaches LA, he must first overcome the doubts of his half-sister, Ava, but soon the two form a memorable bond and a commitment to help Charlie confront his demons.
With this hilarious and compelling send-up of a Hollywood celebrity and his family, Peter Craig shows how a family on the brink of dissolution reaches out and pulls together at the last possible moment. The novel's rollicking conclusion, a road trip that is part beat generation, part 'National Enquirer', will leave you cheering for more.
