The book that inspired the award-winning documentary, Janis Ian: Breaking Silence.

Grammy Award-winning songwriter, singer and author, Janis Ian took the stage at age fifteen with a revolutionary song about interracial relationships, "Society's Child." It was 1966 and the country responded with both hostility and accolades. The song went to #1, and Janis was caught in the maelstrom of a divided country. Terrified by the hatred directed at her, she left the music industry, only to return a few years later with the worldwide hit "At Seventeen." The story never ends-her songs are currently used by artists as diverse as Bette Midler, John Mellencamp, and Celine Dion; and she is considered one of the pre-eminent acoustic guitarists of our era by such notables as Chet Atkins.

In "Society's Child," you'll journey with Janis as she spends time with luminaries of the century-Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin-singers and songwriters who both influenced and befriended her. Her book takes an unblinking look at the music business, her own remarkable path through it, and what was really happening backstage-with honesty and integrity.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Each chapter in this mesmerizing memoir begins with an evocative lyric read and sung by Ian, who transports listeners back in time with both words and music." (Booklist)

I thoroughly enjoyed Janis Ian‘s account of her life in music , particularly as I too had to be somewhat of a trailblazer in the music business, and have had my share of troubles, but am still going! I’ve actually written two autobiographies, including an audiobook, In my own key… My Life in Love and Music ...on Audible. How we both survived dealing with record labels, dishonest agents and managers is a miracle :-) Janice has been so brave in telling her very personal story and I highly recommend this book whether you are a musician or not. Congratulations Janice and Pat for having the courage to get married in my city of Toronto!
I found the part dealing with her mother particularly moving.
Janice, wishing you many more years of creativity, and please never stop writing and singing! I hope our paths cross one day
With love, Liona Boyd🎸🌺

Great autobiography

One of the best biographies I have listened to, made all the better because she narrated it herself and sings her lyrics, as she describes the stories behind them. What an interesting life she has led. Highly recommended.

Amazing biography - and she sings!
