Nora Ephron, finish with a twist of Tina Fey, and you get Ali in Wonderland, the uproarious, revealing, and heartfelt memoir from acclaimed actress and comedian Ali Wentworth. Whether spilling secrets about her quintessentially WASPy upbringing (and her delicious rebellion against it), reminiscing about her \u003cem\u003eSeinfeld \u003c\/em\u003e“Schmoopie” days and her appearances on \u003cem\u003eThe Oprah Winfrey Show\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe View\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno\u003c\/em\u003e, or baring the details of starting a family alongside husband George Stephanopoulos, one thing is for sure—Ali has the unsurpassable humor and warmth of a born storyteller with a story to tell: the quirky, flavorful, surprising, and sometimes scandalous \u003cem\u003eAli in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cp\u003e“Ali Wentworth is funny and warm and crazy all at once.

Today she is an acclaimed comedic actress and writer, former \u003cem\u003eOprah\u003c\/em\u003e regular, wife of political and media star George Stephanopoulos, and a mother who lets her two girls eat cotton candy before bed. Though she’s settled down, her rebellious nature thrives in her comedy and her view of her crazy world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this addictively funny and warm memoir, she takes us through the looking glass and into the wonderland of her life, from a childhood among Washington’s elite to a stint in the psych ward they called a New England prep school; days doing L.A. sketch comedy (with then-aspiring artists Will Ferrell and Lisa Kudrow) to a series of spectacularly failed loves (that eventually led her to Mr. Right). Constant throughout is her mother, Muffie—a flawlessly elegant yet firm, no-nonsense force of nature and pure WASP convictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs charming and off-the-wall as Ali herself, \u003cem\u003eAli in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e is an entertaining look at life that is both intimate and hilarious.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Ali Wentworth is funny and warm and crazy all at once.
