Digging deep into her strengths, her failures and her losses, Jann Arden brings us an inspiring account of how she has surprised herself, in her fifties, by at last becoming her own person. Like many women, it took Jann a long time to realize that trying to be pleasing and likeable in the eyes of others was a loser's game. Letting it rip, and damning the consequences, is both liberating and a hell of a lot of fun. Jann weaves her own story together with tales of her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, to show her younger self - and all of us - that fear and avoidance is no way to live.
