|summary=Violet Prater is 83 and she's decided to tell us her story. She knows that there are grammar and spelling errors, but she wants to tell the story ''her'' way without any interference from an editor. I can understand that and I recognise the ''honesty'' behind her words. Her story's important because it illustrates that child abuse can extend beyond beatings and sexual abuse.

|author= Mara Wilson
|title= Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame
|rating= 5
|genre= Autobiography
|summary= Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and a little out of place: as the only child on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house full of boys, the sole clinically depressed member of a cheerleading squad, a valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California, and an adult the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling everything from how she first learned about sex on the set of ''Melrose Place,'' to losing her mother at a young age, to getting her first kiss (or was it kisses?) on a celebrity canoe trip, to not being cute enough to make it in Hollywood, these essays tell the story of one young woman's journey from accidental fame to relative obscurity, but also illuminate a universal struggle: learning to accept yourself, and figuring out who you are and where you belong.
