In the vein of Running with Scissors, Playground is the glitzy,
glamorous, and surreal true story of a young girl who grew up inside the
Playboy Mansion and never learned where the party stopped and the real
world began.
You are six years old. Every day after school your father takes you to a
sprawling castle filled with exotic animals, bowls of candy, and
half-naked women catering to your every need.
You have your own room. You have new friends. You have an uncle Hef
who's always there for you.
Welcome to the world of Playground, the true story Jennifer Saginor who
grew up inside the Playboy Mansion. By the time she was fourteen, she'd
done countless drugs, had a secret affair with Hef's girlfriend, and was
already losing her grip on reality. Schoolwork, family, and "ordinary
people" had no meaning behind the iron gates of the Mansion, where
celebrities frolicked, pool parties abounded, and her own father--Hugh
Hefner's personal physician and best friend, the man nicknamed "Dr. Feel
Good"--typically held court.
Every day was a party, every night was an adventure, and through it all
was a young girl falling faster and faster down the rabbit hole--trying
desperately hard not to get lost.
