Summary of Mackenzie Phillips's High On Arrival

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 My father, John Phillips, was a rock star, the leader and songwriter of the Mamas the Papas. He was fabulously rich and famous. After school on Friday, a cavernous Fleetwood limo would transport us to either his mansion in Bel Air or his mansion in the Malibu Colony. #2 My parents’ lives were completely different. My father was always surrounded by a noisy, outrageous, wild party, while my mother took me shopping in Beverly Hills. The contrast between their lives was far bigger than just their different lifestyles. #3 I was always aware of the effect my father had on my mother. I was envious of the life she had, and I was aware that she was jealous, angry, and sad. I was always free at my father’s house, and I loved it. #4 I was always surrounded by men with guitars. My father’s friends were all drug addicts, but they were still very cool and attractive to me. I wanted to be like them.
