Summary of Mackenzie Phillips's High On Arrival

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 My father, John Phillips, was a rock star, the leader and songwriter of the Mamas the Papas. He was fabulously rich and famous. After school on Friday, a cavernous Fleetwood limo would transport us to either his mansion in Bel Air or his mansion in the Malibu Colony.

#2 My parents’ lives were completely different. My father was always surrounded by a noisy, outrageous, wild party, while my mother took me shopping in Beverly Hills. The contrast between their lives was far bigger than just their different lifestyles.

#3 I was always aware of the effect my father had on my mother. I was envious of the life she had, and I was aware that she was jealous, angry, and sad. I was always free at my father’s house, and I loved it.

#4 I was always surrounded by men with guitars. My father’s friends were all drug addicts, but they were still very cool and attractive to me. I wanted to be like them.

#5

I was a weird little savage at Dad’s house, but I was also his daughter. I knew which I’d choose. I was already choosing my father. I was already a decadent little maniac between the controlled order of my mother’s home and the wild freedom of my father’s.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I had a hippie father who sent me to a free school called Summerhill, which was full of rich and undisciplined kids. I was friends with Jefferson Burstyn, Ellen Burstyn’s adorable son. I was a person with no boundaries going to a school with no boundaries.
