Tackling everything from what she learned about sex on the set of \u003ci\u003eMelrose Place\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, moving, and hilarious, \u003ci\u003eWhere Am I Now?\u003c\/i\u003e introduces Mara Wilson as a brilliant new chronicler of the experience that is growing up female.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mara Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143128229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2016 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews Fall Preview\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2016 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMara Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, playwright, actor, and storyteller perhaps best known as the little girl from \u003ci\u003eMrs. Doubtfire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMiracle on 34th Street\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMatilda\u003c\/i\u003e.
