What Wasn't I Thinking?
A Memoir of Rebellion, Madness, and My Mother
- 2021 INDIES Winner
- Silver, LGBTQ+ (Adult Nonfiction)
Sebastian Stuart had a heady childhood. His brilliant, acerbic mother was the Entertainment Editor of Life magazine, and his father was an Oscar-nominated filmmaker. James Baldwin was a dinner guest and Bette Midler paid a courtesy call. Yet beneath the glittering parties, the family was haunted by unspoken tragedy. By turns hilarious, irreverent and heartbreaking, "What Wasn't I Thinking" is an unflinching evocation of loss and forgiveness.
