I thought the book flowed well and was an easy read, not withstanding some of the serious subject matter. Several friends and I discussed prior to reading her book whether her incest statements against her father were accurate or just a ploy to sell the book. We seemed to be split in the middle. If she was honest in her memoirs, Mackenzie was brutally forthright and humble in her mistakes. She appears to be very forgiving of those who have wronged her in some manner or who have avoided her because of her lifestyle. It is a miracle she is still alive, and it is also sad that she continues to fight the demons that have cut her career short. I truly hope by reaching out to so many, that people can truly learn from her mistakes. I hope also that Mackenzie, for the rest of her days, continues to work hard as a parent and as a woman who needs sobriety to just stay alive.
