The Truth Is My Life in Love and Music
Author: Melissa Etheridge, Laura Morton
Since she first burst onto the international music scene, Melissa Etheridge has released seven albums that have sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, garnering not only public adoration for her uncompromising honesty but numerous critical awards, including two Grammys and the prestigious ASCAP Songwriter of the Year award. The Truth Is ...  more » is a highly charged autobiography—a bold and unflinching account of an extraordinary life that Melissa describes as only she can: from her Kansas roots, through her early love of music, to her brilliant rise to superstardom in a male-dominated rock world. Melissa openly discusses the massive impact of her publicly coming out, a revelation that only increased her popularity, making her a highly visible spokesperson for the gay and lesbian community. The Truth Is . . . shares Melissa Etheridge’s fascinating story with unprecedented candor and insight.

Great book written by Melissa Etheridge! She really lets her guard down and tells all. Great read if you want to really know the woman who has a superb voice. I guess I can now say that I understand why her music is so fantastic. It's raw and you can feel her emotions pouring out in each and every one. This book covers most of the basics of her life and of course details. You find out about all the heart breaking, losses, and happy moments of her life and how she came to be the person she is today. If your a fan of her music, you have to pick up this book to fully understand why her music touches your soul.

Melissa Etheridges' book is a great read. Very in depth, touching book that leaves nothing to the imagination. She puts it all out there for the reader, like it or not. Can't say that I am a hardcore fan of her music, however, her book made me listen to the songs I do like with a much deeper appreciation for the voice behind them.
