Moon Unit Zappa on her childhood and father Frank
Moon Unit Zappa, daughter of musician Frank Zappa, reflects on her unconventional childhood in a new memoir, Earth to Moon.
The book details her experiences growing up in a chaotic household marked by her father's emotional detachment and her mother Gail's erratic behavior.
Moon recounts instances of her father's infidelity and her mother's unusual disciplinary methods, highlighting the emotional toll it took on her.
After her father's death, Moon faced further challenges due to her mother's will, which favored her younger siblings and sparked a decade-long family feud.
Now, Moon has found solace in yoga, meditation, writing, and focusing on her own well-being, moving away from the shadow of her parents' legacy.
