Description

In this candid and deeply moving memoir, a Grammy-winning musician traces her journey from an impoverished childhood in rural Washington to the heights of musical success. Raised amid country music, religion, financial instability, and family performances, she recounts the struggles that shaped her—including illness, questions of identity, and the challenges of coming to terms with her sexuality. Through stories of perseverance, self-discovery, and the transformative power of music, she explores the dignity of lives that society may dismiss as damaged or imperfect. Rich with vulnerability, empathy, and the songs that became a personal soundtrack, the book is a testament to resilience, belonging, and the courage to believe in one’s own worth.
