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.

Terrific autobiography by musician Melissa Etheridge. A little slow in the beginning, but it picks up, especially when it begins to detail her relationship with her former partner Julie Cypher.

She's not in Kansas anymore! Melissa Etheridge, the gutsy Midwest girl who grew up to be the heartland's gift to rock & roll (and a major gay spokeswoman) tells all in her memoir, The Truth Is.... With a little help from Laura Morton, the bestselling collaborator of Marilu Henner and Joan Lunden, Etheridge sets the record straight about her life on and off the stage, her coming-out drama, and the stories behind her songs.
