'Compelling' * The Times * 'Wise and honest.' * Daily Mail * Beguiling, beautifully written memoir about her extraordinary life. * Daily Express * An observer at the very heart of the starriest of rock scenes. * The Sunday Times * An extraordinary life, living so close to the creative flow. * Huffington Post * Vivid, anxious and sometimes hilarious. * The Guardian * With the trailer being released for Daisy Jones the other day I couldn't think of a more perfect read to fill the gap until the show premieres. -- Jill * NetGalley *More details

Person
Jenny Boyd, twice married to Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac, found herself at the forefront of the world of rock and roll in the sixties - and its fame, money, drugs and heartache. Struggling in the darkness to find and develop her own voice and identity, Jenny went to college, achieving a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Humanities. Her dissertation on musicians and creativity became the critically-acclaimed book Musicians in Tune.
