Fantastic, Realistic, and Engrossing

This book made even me want to join a rock group. The story of Janis' escape from her boring existence and subsequent capultation to fame is a modern fairy tale of escaping the grind. This combined with Janis' pain and confusion in her relationship with her mother and her adoption of Christie's depressed mother made this book one of my all-time favorities..even at age 19 :()
