Giveaway: The Imposters Daughter by Laurie Sandell


Synopsis:
Laurie Sandell grew up in awe (and sometimes in terror) of her larger-than-life father, who told jaw-dropping tales of a privileged childhood in Buenos Aires, academic triumphs, heroism during Vietnam, friendships with Kissinger and the Pope. As a young woman, Laurie unconsciously mirrors her dad, trying on several outsized personalities (Tokyo stripper, lesbian seductress, Ambien addict). Later, she lucks into the perfect job--interviewing celebrities for a top women's magazine. Growing up with her extraordinary father has given Laurie a knack for relating to the stars.

  2. I find the title intriguing, maybe the father isn't who he pretends to be. This could be an interesting story.

  8. I can totally relate to Laurie! Being a European, my father was quite controlling. Sounds like a story that recounts many simiar situations to my life's situations.
