Take Another Little Piece of My Heart: A Groupie Grows Up is a non-fiction 1993 work by former groupie Pamela Des Barres. Continuing where I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie left off, this book chronicles the ups and downs of her turbulent marriage to actor/singer Michael Des Barres, including their divorce in 1991. Much of the book is about the effects of the family dysfunction on their son, Nicholas Dean Des Barres. She doesn't care anymore about her groupie years; she really feels the change she had is really important, and now feels alright because she's alone (only with Tupi and Dupi, her respective cats) but always wanting to see her son, the only person she loves now. A nice ending for a turbulent story. It also includes brief tales of Pamela's friendships with other celebrities, including Frank Zappa, Sandra Bernhard, and Jaid Barrymore and some jokes called 'If you cried with the book read this and feel better' and 'Guide to a successful divorce'.
