A myth-busting memoir by the daughter of legendary rock star "Mama" Cass Elliot.

What The Reviewers Say

Joanne Kaufman,
Air Mail
My Mama, Cass contains a good bit too much filler.
Dr. Dave Szatmary,
Library Journal
A unique perspective from the daughter of a rock star. General audiences will get a fresh glimpse into the manipulative music business, which demanded ceaseless hard work, personal sacrifices, and a determined focus on glittery celebrity..

Publishers Weekly
An earnest if incomplete portrait.

Kirkus
Much of the narrative is rather by the numbers, and the prose is largely workmanlike.
