I LOVE YOU, AND I'M LEAVING YOU ANYWAY is television writer Tracy McMillan's provocative, insightful, and humorous memoir of how she tried to find love, security and self-esteem from men (up to and including 3 husbands!) because she didn't get it from her relationship with her dad. Of course, her relationship with her father is more complicated than most-he is a fur-coat wearing, El-Dorado-driving pimp, drug dealer and convicted felon, incarcerated for nearly all of her life. But this is not a "woe is me" story of what went wrong: I LOVE YOU AND I'M LEAVING YOU ANYWAY is a story of what's gone right. It's the story of how having a father obsessed with women made her a woman obsessed with men, and how raising a son taught her everything she needed to know about men, women and love. Heartwarming, comedic and unflinchingly real, I LOVE YOU, AND I'M LEAVING YOU ANYWAY proves that we can all grow from even our most flawed relationships.
