Description
Lita Ford's memoir is a vivid and inspiring account of her life as a rock pioneer. From leaving home at 16 to join the world's first major all-female rock group, the Runaways, to becoming "heavy rock's first female guitar hero", Lita shares her story with unflinching honesty.
With her signature black guitar in hand, Lita shattered stereotypes of female musicians and forged a trailblazing career that spanned over three decades. She recounts the highs and lows of her journey, including the meteoric rise of Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, and the rest of the Runaways.
This memoir is a testament to Lita's fearlessness and resilience, as she opens up about the punk and hard-rock scenes of the 1970s and '80s, and her subsequent silence and darkness. With raw emotion and unbridled passion, Lita reclaimed her soul and restored herself to her throne.
