Legendary and iconic singer, songwriter, actress and activist Cyndi Lauper offers a personal account of the journey that led her to become an international superstar. Legendary and iconic singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper offers a poignant account of the journey that led her to become an international superstar from her years growing up in Queens, New York, to the making of enduring hits like Time After Time, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and True Colors, to becoming an actress, a mother, an outspoken activist, and maintaining a music career that has lasted more than thirty years. After leaving her childhood home at seventeen, Cyndi took on a series of jobs: racetrack hot walker, IHOP waitress, and, as she puts it, gal Friday the thirteenth, as she pursued her passion for music. She worked her way up playing small gigs and broke out in 1983 with She s So Unusual, which earned her a Grammy for Best New Artist and made her the first female artist in history to have four top-five singles on a debut album. And while global fame wasn t always what she expected, she has remained focused on what matters most. Cyndi is a gutsy real-life heroine who has never been afraid to speak her mind and stick up for a cause whether it s women s rights, gay rights, or fighting against HIV/AIDS. With her trademark warmth and humor, Cyndi fearlessly writes of a life she s lived only on her own terms."

Well worth the wait. Candid, poignant, funny and honest. Absolutely loved it. I am a bit biased though as have loved Cyndi since I was 14.
