She'd slept with too many men and a few women, and she didn't like dogs or chil-dren. Georgann possessed the icy beauty of a Hitchcock heroine with the cold heart to match. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom living at the Dakota in 1960s Manhattan to London's swinging town houses and beyond, Wendy Lawless and her younger sister navigated day-to-day life as their unstable and fabulously neglectful mother, Georgann, chased her delusions, suffered dramatic breakdowns, and survived suicide attempts. With clear-eyed grace and flashing wit, Lawless portrays the highs and lows of her unhinged upbringing--and how she survived her mother's endlessly destructive search for glamour and fulfillment--in \"a searing memoir that reads like a novel\" (Anne Korkeakivi, \u003ci\u003eAn Unexpected Guest\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Lawless\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147674548X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476745480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Wendy Lawless","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935551029503,"sku":"9781476745480","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c4c586b0-48ad-4363-8e7a-2d05b30ff235.jpg?v=1681420455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chanel-bonfire-wendy-lawless-9781476745480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
