Synopsis

Girl in Flight by Cat Buchanan is a gripping and poignant memoir that takes readers on a whirlwind journey through the glitz and chaos of Manhattan and Hollywood in the 1960s and early 70s. George and Meyera Buchanan have everything—lavish holidays, private planes, classic cars, and luxury homes—except the one thing they truly desire: a baby. After adopting Cat, their marriage crumbles, igniting a fierce custody battle that spans coast to coast, from Malibu to the Hamptons.
Amid the bitter fight, young Cat is caught in the crossfire, bearing witness to the self-destructive spirals of wealth, ambition, and alcoholism that plague her family. With humor and sharp insight, Cat Buchanan paints a vivid portrait of a life lived on the edges of privilege and dysfunction.
Girl in Flight is a fast-paced, edgy, coming-of-age story that is as entertaining as it is heart-wrenching. A tale of survival and resilience, this unique memoir reveals how one girl navigates a fractured family and finds her own way in a world of extremes. A must-read for fans of memoirs that are both funny and inspiring.
