Summary

For fans of Running with Scissors, The Glass Castle, and Educated, comes a true coming-of-age memoir about a vagabond family led by a self-absorbed, eccentric hippie mother during the age of Aquarius. Devastating family drama, abandonment, and drugs are balanced with laugh-out-loud humor that will keep you listening. You'll laugh, cry, and be left begging for more.

Don’t Call Me Jupiter is packed with hilarious and horrifying true stories.… Funny, yet its central theme is abandonment.

The story fast forwards to 1996 when a suspicious death in the family leaves the fate of two young boys in the hands of Tom’s dysfunctional family. Tom, the quintessential lifetime bachelor, and geeky Don Draper is thrust headfirst back into the mayhem of his family’s hippie lifestyle.

Was it murder, drugs, abuse, or something else? Join this disbanded family as they’re forced together to confront a horrific crisis and scramble for resolution. Can the cycle of abandonment be broken? See how our past decisions have serious life-long consequences....

And with most dysfuctional famliies they come with a cost.

Author's Note: Imagine a 1970s version of Shameless but with less booze, more weed, and way more hallucinogenics.

Don’t Call Me Jupiter provides an accurate, visceral, entertaining, real-life perspective into the ups and downs of surviving a hippie childhood with a narcissist as a mother. As you dig deeper into his struggle, you learn how to forgive what you can't forget.
