The Impostor's Daughter: A True Memoir by Laurie Sandell

3.0

Quick read, colorful pictures, could be a good introduction to graphic novels for women, especially since a lot of other graphic novels that offer entry into the genre have male leads. Laurie's father, an economics professor, tells wild and dramatic stories about his past, and won't ever let anyone else get the family's mail, which tends to come bearing all sorts of aliases and imaginary names. When Laurie reaches her twenties, she realizes her father has been lying a lot, and has taken out credit cards in her name. She distances herself from her family for a number of years until she can process her experiences - along the way, she also becomes a successful writer for Glamour and battles Ambien addiction.
