Description: Based on the hilarious and touching off-Broadway hit, Family Secrets is a portrait of the artist as a young woman. Growing up in an eccentric Long Island Jewish household and coming of age professionally and sexually in California gave Sherry Glaser enough material to create her critically acclaimed one-woman show, revealing the experiences and perceptions of three generations of the not-so-typical Fisher family.

Woven in and around the five monologues that are the text of the play are Sherry's observations and revelations about her characters, herself, and her family, and how in creating and performing she healed old wounds and reconciled past and present.
Notes: "A Fireside book."
