In poetic prose, Joan Baez talks about the people, experiences, ideas and ideals that have shaped her life. She includes a good look at herself as a young girl growing up with her fears; a glowing tribute to her mother; an analysis of her father and of her relationship with him; and brief glimpses of Ira, her spiritual mentor, of Richard Farina...and of David, her husband, who faces a jail term for refusing military service. Her compassion, honesty and sincerity come through here loud and clear.
