Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had engineered my life so the world came to my house, a comfortable hangout place for my family and friends. I had the ability to do almost all the business side of my collection there. I was just never going to be the cupcake mom or the arts-and-crafts helper at school. #2 I was blindsided by the news that my father was getting a divorce. I had given my father the confidence to leave his wife, which led to him being a grandfather at the age of forty. #3 I was always the preacher’s daughter, and I felt that pressure to be perfect. I was always present when I performed, but it had been years since I had been onstage. I was anxious about meeting my parents’ friends and family. #4 I had been writing songs about my life experiences, and I had not just been making music about what I’d been through in life, there were songs about my father as well. I wanted to play them for him.
