Many of them are in this book: Some are embarrassing (like when she tried to break her three-year spell of celibacy using a guide of seduction tips).

Then there are things Chelsea really shouldn’t be telling you: like the time her biggest family secret was publicly outed, or about the drive-by shootings and the precipitating domestic violence she survived. Yet through it all, the women in Chelsea’s life have kept her going — from the lowest points of her childhood when she and her mum had only a hundred dollars left to their names, all the way to her career highs as the Emmy Award-nominated head writer for The Problem with Jon Stewart and the sensational podcaster deemed ‘the celebrity memoir whisperer’ by her fans.
