Overflowing with intimate details from film and TV sets like “Camp Rock,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” “Step Up,” and “Phineas & Ferb,” Stoner pulls back the curtain on the entertainment industry to expose the “toddler to train wreck pipeline,” while detailing their own turbulent upbringing, including family violence, eating disorders, and religious trauma.
