Girl in Flight (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781068514425)

Girl in Flight by Cat Buchanan is a gripping and poignant memoir that takes readers on a whirlwind journey through the glitz and chaos of Manhattan and Hollywood in the 1960s and early 70s. George and Meyera Buchanan have everything-lavish holidays, private planes, classic cars, and luxury homes-except the one thing they truly desire: a baby. After adopting Cat, their marriage crumbles, igniting a fierce custody battle that spans coast to coast, from Malibu to the Hamptons.

Amid the bitter fight, young Cat is caught in the crossfire, bearing witness to the self-destructive spirals of wealth, ambition, and alcoholism that plague her family. With humor and sharp insight, Cat Buchanan paints a vivid portrait of a life lived on the edges of privilege and dysfunction.

Girl in Flight is a fast-paced, edgy, coming-of-age story that is as entertaining as it is heart-wrenching. A tale of survival and resilience, this unique memoir reveals how one girl navigates a fractured family and finds her own way in a world of extremes. A must-read for fans of memoirs that are both funny and inspiring.
