The daughter of Hugh Hefners personal physician and closest friendthe man who was immortalized in the Mtley Cre song Dr. FeelgoodJennifer Saginor spent most of her youth in the Playboy Mansion. In this wholly original coming-of-age memoir, she bares all as she reveals the philosophies and practices of Mansion culture she learned growing up there.
More than just a scintillating peek into a sex-infused world, Playground is ultimately a candid and poignant exploration of a complex, confused, and wounded dysfunctional family set against the backdrop of the ultimate playground. Taking readers deep inside the Playboy Mansion, Saginor offers an irresistible and unflinching look at the good, bad, and ugly of Hugh Heffners hedonistic world, and provides a heartwrenching look into the psychological effects of a glamorous, yet broken, upbringing.
