Make Your Selection: Mean Baby by Selma Blair

Over the course of this beautiful and, at times, devasting memoir, Selma lays bare her addiction to alcohol, her devotion to a brilliant and complicated mother, and the moments she flirted with death. In a voice that's powerfully original, fiercely intelligent, and full of hard-won wisdom, Selma Blair takes readers on a journey that includes brutal violence, passionate love, true friendship, the gift of motherhood, and, finally, the surprising salvation of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
