Moon Unit Zappa Talks Valley Girl and Family Dysfunction in Her New Memoir

We all remember Moon Unit Zappa and her collaboration with her Dad (Frank Zappa): the 80's hit Valley Girl.

What we didn't know, however, was the unique family dynamics both past and present in the Zappa family.  In her new memoir, EARTH TO MOON, Moon Unit shares stories of her childhood, her first bully (Gail, her "mom") and her search for meaningful relationships with her Dad and siblings.  She also shares her thoughts on her midlife journey and finding true connections.
