With "Read Me" Shepard gives audiences the full, unabridged versions of her previously recorded audio projects. Though, not to be considered an extended version, "Read Me" includes pieces not heard on "The Renaissance" and "Twenty5" that were originally slated to be recorded. "Read Me" also includes "The Misfits"-- a small collection of pieces written over time after the release of both audio projects. She brings readers along for a written journey of life's complications, discovery of self, and love's promises. This unabridged collection of work answers some of life's toughest, oldest questions-- Who am I? How do I live this life? How do I heal from hurt and heartache? Saturated in biting wit, thought provoking analogy, and beautifully detailed images, her real, often comical, highly satirical outlook on life, love, and happiness, is relevant to creative hearts and minds of every age.
