    “Memoir of Alysia Abbott's upbringing in 1970s San Francisco, as she is raised by her writer/illustrator father after her mother's untimely death. Unfazed by her father's male companions and his liberal child-rearing, Alysia becomes more aware of her unconventional life from peers and outsiders. Yet, the relationship between the two is unwavering and the work is a love song of their life together.”
