520			_aA vivid portrait of a woman finding her place in the glamorous world of Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s--perfect for readers of high-flying memoirs such as Pattie Boyd's "Wonderful Tonight." Fashion icon, Broadway and Hollywood insider, mob mistress, confidante to notorious gang members of both Crips and Bloods, wife, mother, award-winning journalist, Leon Bing has not followed the typical path through life. From her formative relationship with her mother to her days as a star model to her sisterly relationship with Mama Cass Elliot and ultimate reinvention as the author of the bestselling gang expose, "Do or Die," "Swans and Pistols "details Bing's always exciting and sometimes dangerous life. In a series of riveting stories of unconventionality, Bing wrestles with the themes of mothers, daughters, and reinvention--a concept inseparable from the experience of her early adult life in the 1960s and the city she called home. www.alibris.com
