This is the best (auto)biography I've ever read.
I love Amanda and I love Neil. And I love them together. This book provided more details about their relationship, which I've really enjoyed.
But, the most intriguing parts are about her career. Her band, her career as a statue and, what I loved the most, the stories about people. I just love how the people have been very kind to you and i cried so many times. Amanda, thank you.
And since it's April 30th, Happy Birthday.

Truth be told, I loved the music most when I thought it was supposed to be played at 2x-3x. I really enjoyed the journey, and the stories. It's empowering to hear her successes, and realize that you can open so many doors just by taking chances.

A great book about creativity, community, sharing, and caring beyond the art of asking.
