Book Overview
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A memoir as fierce, freewheeling, and passionate as her music.
--O, the Oprah magazine
A memoir by the celebrated singer-songwriter and social activist Ani DiFranco In her new memoir, No Walls and the Recurring Dream, Ani DiFranco recounts her early life from a place of hard-won wisdom, combining personal expression, the power of music, feminism, political activism, storytelling, philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and much more into an inspiring whole. In these frank, honest, passionate, and often funny pages is the tale of one woman's eventful and radical journey to the age of thirty. Ani's coming of age story is defined by her ethos of fierce independence--from being an emancipated minor sleeping in a Buffalo bus station, to unwaveringly building a career through appearances at small clubs and festivals, to releasing her first album at the age of 18, to consciously rejecting the mainstream recording industry and creating her own label, Righteous Babe Records. In these pages, as in life, she never hesitates to question established rules and expectations, maintaining a level of artistic integrity that has inspired and challenged more than a few. Ani continues to be a major touring and recording artist as well as a celebrated activist and feminist, standing as living proof that you can overcome all personal and societal obstacles to be who you are and to follow your dreams.

If you like fun and unique trailblazers, you'll enjoy this!
Published by John Henry Sheridan Music , 1 year ago
What a unique and extraordinary life this woman has led! As a singer-songwriter, DIY musician/artist/author myself I learned a lot from her experiences and perspectives. She's a vivid storyteller and her way with words brought me out on her various journeys with her. For fans of hers and fans of unique and fun trailblazing people, I recommend this book highly!
