Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame

"Thoughtfully traces [Mara Wilson's] journey from child actress to Hollywood dropout...WhoÂ is she now? She's a writer."Â â€”NPR'sÂ "Guide To 2016â€™s Great Reads"

â€œGrowing up, I wanted toÂ beÂ Mara Wilson.Â Where Am I Now?Â is a delight.â€ â€”Ilana Glazer, cocreator and star ofÂ Broad City

Named a best book of the month by GoodReads andÂ Entertainment Weekly

A former child actor best known for her starring roles in Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and out of place: as the onlyÂ 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 fromÂ what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place, to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer â€œcuteâ€ enough for Hollywood, these essaysÂ chart herÂ journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity. They also illuminate universal struggles, like navigating love and loss,Â and figuring out who you are and where you belong. Candid, insightful, moving, and hilarious, Where Am I Now? introduces Mara Wilson as a brilliant new chronicler of the experience that is growing up female.
