EARTH TO MOON A Memoir

Author and narrator Moon Unit Zappa recounts her nontraditional upbringing in the same simple, honest manner she had as a child. Zappa emphasizes certain words as she describes how her younger self craved attention from her parents, especially her father, Frank Zappa, the renowned innovative musician. She shares high school memories and her family's reputation for liking to shock. It's at this point that more emotion becomes evident in Zappa's voice. She begins articulating the complexities of her feelings, aided by years of therapy. Snippets from the "Valley Girl" song that Zappa lent her vocals to are showcased with the requisite bored girly affectation. Zappa's pace helps immerse listeners in her recollections.
