Publishers Description: For readers of Jessi Klein, Allie Brosh and Roxane Gay, the former child actress best known for her starring roles in Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire tells funny and poignant stories from her unique coming of age Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and out of place: as the only kid on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house full of boys, a Valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California, and a grown-up the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place, to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer cute enough for Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity. They also illuminate universal struggles, like navigating love and loss, and figuring out who you are and where you belong. Candid, insightful, and hilarious, Where Am I Now introduces Mara Wilson as a brilliant new chronicler of the experience that is growing up female.Growing up, I wanted to be Mara Wilson. Where Am I Now is a delight. Ilana Glazer, cocreator and star of Broad CityGenuine and authentic, funny and heartbreaking, Where Am I Now reminds you that no matter how unique your life is, some things bind us all together. Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy
