About

"This collection captures, in writing, the same array of emotions that Christine brings to the stage and screen with her acting. Funny with heart. Tears with a hint of hope. A fantastic mosaic that, when cobbled together, offers a stirring range of humanity." - Alan Zweibel, original SNL writer and Thurber Prize winning author of The Other Shulman
"Christine Lahti's autobiographical essays are a beautiful, painful, funny, fiercely honest walk through the streets of her life. Gorgeous landscape, dangerous potholes and all. The whole unedited she-bang. It's Oz with the curtain pulled back. At once soul-baring, hilarious, moving and smart. I'm a fan." - Kathy Najimy, actress and comedienne
"Lahti launches into the literary world with the same dynamism that has enlivened her acting roles. With brazen honesty, she recounts the many surprising, heartbreaking, and identity-building events that have punctuated her life. True Stories of an Unreliable Eyewitness oozes modesty, humor, and complete levelheadedness." - Kirkus Reviews
"Christine Lahti has lived a full, ferocious life and her stories will break, beat and blister your heart." - Amber Tamblyn, author, actress, and director 
"Engrossing, hilarious, tragic-this amazing book of essays by a wonderful actor whom we now know is also a great American storyteller, takes us from the Midwest to Hollywood to the moment of women's rebellion we are currently in. Couldn't put it down!" - Michael Moore, Academy Award winning filmmaker and bestselling author
"An intimate, conversational collection. Lahti writes with ease and authenticity... her timely chronicle of aging wisely, gracefully, and with self-respect will resonate with many readers"  - Publishers Weekly
"Lahti's style is irreverent, bawdy, and laugh-out-loud funny, but she doesn't shirk from painful subjects, including family mental illness. Lahti is one of those rare celebrities who not only has a fascinating life but who can also tell a relatable story with humility and humor." - Booklist
