Reviews
" Society's Child is the hugely readable autobiography of an artist who has lived through success and crushing hardship but knows that 'you can't sing and cry at the same time.' Sing on!" - O, The Oprah Magazine "Painfully candid . . . hard to put down." - Booklist (starred review) "A juicily entertaining look at an unusual life in show business." - Kirkus Reviews "Deftly written, the life experiences described by Janis Ian in this engaging memoir gives us a peek into the anatomy of a brilliant songwriter' -Joan Baez "One of life's greatest pleasures is a book that you simply can't put down-one that transports you from start to finish as it elevates, enlightens, engages and entertains. Janis Ian gives you all this in Society's Child ." -Kitty Kelley "A splendid retelling of a major life! Janis Ian is a survivor, and her book is an illuminating and inspiring read." -Anne McCaffrey "Janis Ian is at once larger-than-life and excruciatingly human. In Society's Child she describes great triumphs, devastating betrayals of every kind, and her extraordinary strength of spirit shines through every page." -Kathy Mattea "A book of surpassing clarity and truth." -Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game "I laughed, I ached, I wept, I cheered...and ultimately was totally taken by Janis Ian's honest and deeply moving autobiography: an insightful and courageous personal account of her musical, spiritual and emotional journey." -Noel Paul Stookey, of Peter, Paul & Mary

Synopsis
Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Ian chronicles her more than 40 years in the music business. In this fascinating memoir, she shares what it felt like to move in and out of the public eye and what inspired her return to music after a self-imposed hiatus., Grammy Award–winning singer and songwriter Janis Ian’s memoir of her more than forty years in the music business . Janis Ian was catapulted into the spotlight in 1966 at the age of fifteen when her soul-wrenching song “Society’s Child� became a national hit. An intimate portrait of an interracial relationship, “Society’s Child� climbed the charts despite the fact that many radio stations across the country refused to play it because of its controversial subject matter. But this was only the beginning of a long and illustrious career. In this fascinating memoir of her life in the music business, Ian chronicles how she did drugs with Jimi Hendrix, went shopping for Grammy clothes with Janis Joplin, and sang with Mel Torm —all the while never ceasing to create unforgettable music. In Society’s Child , Ian shares with readers what it felt like to move in and out of the public eye. In 1975 her legendary song “At Seventeen� earned two Grammy awards and five nominations. But during the 1980s she made a conscious decision to walk away from the often grueling music business to study ballet and acting. She also struggled through a difficult marriage that ended with her then husband’s threat to kill her. The hiatus from music lasted for nearly a decade until, in 1993, Ian returned with the release of Breaking Silence. Rather than risk losing artistic control, she took out a second mortgage on her home to fund the record. It paid off as Breaking Silence gained Ian her ninth Grammy nomination. Now in her fifth decade, Ian continues to draw large audiences around the globe. Janis Ian has inspired generations of fans and in this moving book she shares the fascinating story of her life in music.
