Everything You Ever Wanted: A Memoir

Everything You Ever Wanted: A Memoir

â€œA punk rock Scheherazadeâ€ (Margaret Cho) shares the zigzagging path that took her from harem member to PTA memberâ€¦

In her younger years, Jillian Lauren was a college dropout, a drug addict, and an international concubine inÂ the Prince of Bruneiâ€™s harem, an experience she immortalizedÂ in in her bestselling memoir, SOME GIRLS. In her thirties, Jillian's most radical act was learning the steadying power of love when she and her rock star husband adopt an Ethiopian child with special needs.Â After Jillian loses a close friend to drugs, she herself is saved by her fierce, bold love for her son as she fights to make himâ€”and herselfâ€”feel safe and at home in the world.

Exploring complex ideas of identity and reinvention,Â Everything You Ever WantedÂ is a must-read for everyone, especially every mother, who has ever hoped for a second act in life.
