Mia is the daughter of Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith and Cyrinda Fox (R.C. from the Andy Warhol's movie Bad). Like most teens, Mia had a rocky relationship with her parents but has reconciled with both. Her mother died in 2002 from a brain tumor.

The Book
Memoir...
That's right, Mia wrote a memoir, titled Creating Myself. It was released in August 2008.Here is the book description:
In Creating Myself, Mia shares scintillating details about her rock-and-roll family, as well as battling her own personal demons: dumping her mother's cocaine vial down the toilet at just eight years old, running around backstage at her father's concerts (including the one where she first met her sister, Liv), and attempting to distract herself from her pain through drug addiction and self-mutilation. Yet this memoir is ultimately a tale of redemption. Mia learns that in order to truly grow up, she must forgive both herself and those who hurt her, give up the quest for perfection, and acknowledge that she is still a work in progress.
Creating Myself: a memoir by Mia Tyler is available from Amazon for $19. There's also an introductory video of Mia talking about her book.

Immortalized in Song
Steven Tyler wrote and sang a song called Mia.Mia
Honey now..na, na, na, na, na....
Hush a bye my baby soft and new
Oh, loveliness, gypsy dance in the rain
Hush a bye my baby what you do
Oh, the baby cry
The wind is a-callin your name
Oh, oh...
Where you came from you ain't alone
Live and loved from the old jaw bone
Ah, don't you cry you're home sweet home
Rock a bye sweet lady gypsy blue
Oh, the nightingale's singin' her song in the rain
Hush a bye sweet lady, soft and new
Oh, don't you cry, the wind she's a-screamin' your name
Oh, oh...
Come too soon that sunny day
You give your heart away
No divorce, io repouise
Oh, oh...
This song can be found on the album Night in the Ruts.
