I love Janis Joplin, and reading this book, it isn't hard to see why. Ellis Amburn tells of her early days growing up in a town full of people who rejected her, and when she became famous, of her attempts to "rub it in the faces" of all those who treated her so badly. Janis never got over her insecurities, and this book tells of her sad spiral into drug addiction and loneliness that eventually cost her her young life.
