Television writer Tracy McMillan managed to work her way into a killer Hollywood career—a privileged world of pool houses, premieres, and big-time producer deals—despite being the daughter of a fur-coat-wearing, El Dorado–driving, smooth-talking pimp named Freddie. But success couldn't save her from the pattern of self-destructive choices—stemming from her history with her father—that would shape all of her romantic relationships. I Love You and I'm Leaving You Anyway is her comic, tragic, and ultimately victorious story, the riveting true tale of how having a father obsessed with women made her a woman obsessed with men. It is an inspiring testament to the power of change that proves we can all grow from even our most flawed relationships.

Tracy McMillan is a film and television writer, most recently on AMC's Emmy Award-and Golden Globe-winning series Mad Men, and before that on Showtime's Emmy Award-winning series The United States of Tara, the ABC drama Life on Mars, and the NBC drama Journeyman. She lives in Los Angeles with her fourteen-year-old son.
