Dear Reader, America has been lapping up nostalgia about the magical 1960s...but no book has told the story from the viewpoint of those who were most changed by it: its women. Into this void, I am delighted to offer GIRLS LIKE US: CAROLE KING, JONI MITCHELL, CARLY SIMON—AND THE JOURNEY OF A GENERATION. My heroines catapulted themselves from dutiful daughters to headlong adventurers, and my intimate book takes you deep inside their lives: who they loved and what they risked to create their luminous songs. I'm pleased that so many people say this intertwined triple biography (which has been prestigiously chosen as Vanity Fair's April excerpt) reads like a novel and that author Sara Davidson calls it "riveting, surprising, juicy, and almost impossible to put down." If you were a '60s woman, or your mom or wife was: Trust me. There'll be smiles of recognition and gasps at the (delicious) secrets revealed. With joy and thanks, Sheila Weller www.girlslikeusthebook.com |
