A deeply human memoir by the actress, model, mother and advocate for the multiple sclerosis community.
 
The first story Selma Blair ever heard about herself is that she was a mean, mean baby. She spent years living up to her reputation: biting, lying, getting drunk on Passover wine and stealing the limelight.
 
Mean Baby recounts a childhood spent in worship of her mother, an adolescence of love and pain, her destructive ways of coping with an unidentified illness, her struggles and successes in Hollywood, the birth of her son and the devastating, surprising salvation of her MS diagnosis in a voice that is powerfully original, fiercely intelligent, and full of hard-won wisdom.
