“I didn’t have enough distance to have a healthy perspective - I had to work through a lot of resentment so the book wasn’t just filled with that. “I had a lot of healing to do first,” she explains during a recent video conversation from her home in Los Angeles. It was the first of many attempts across two decades to tell her story, always shelved because ultimately she knew it was incomplete. A former Playgirl centerfold, he too battled addiction as well as depression.Īnd so, while Debra was in rehab and the sisters camped out in an abandoned office, the teenage Chrysta - also in a relationship with a volatile rich boy - began writing a screenplay about the instability that surrounded her. His parents were well off but he had skipped college to study Transcendental Meditation and he floated through life without a plan, increasingly spouting wild conspiracy theories. A sperm donor, he was in and out of their lives. The girls’ father, Jeffrey Harrison, was not about to come to their rescue. She also had a penchant for pyramid schemes and was averse to many basics of parenting she ricocheted in and out of relationships, bouncing the trio around Southern California as her addictions dragged her down. Here’s what Bilton did know: Her mother, Debra, was an “incredibly original” character - pals with Warren Beatty, she worked as presidential candidate Ross Perot’s “civil rights coordinator.” Most notably however, she’d had two children, Chrysta and Kaitlyn, in the 1980s as a single, gay woman. Now 37, Bilton first set out to write about her unconventional clan back when she was a teenager, but at that point she didn’t even know the half of it.
