I couldn't put this delightful and fascinating book down. Beautifully written and impressively edited to shine like a latex catsuit. I enjoyed and appreciated the three different Polly POVs weaving their stories together— the Maiden Mother Crone arc of her revolutionary evolution from her unusual family of origin to her even more bizarre Kinky Salon family and then at the edge of her future self, sending encouragement to her younger selves.

dav's review against another edition
4.0
I suppose I was predisposed to like a memoir from someone who came to SF around the same time I did and sought out and experienced similar things (cacophony, folsom street fair, burning man, etc). All that was missing was the Werepad. Of course unlike me she was busy creating fantastic new things as well, and I've been a fan of her works for some time now. The book is deep, broad, intense, revealing and remarkably well edited. Yay for Polly!
