Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation
Sheila Weller
Atria, 2008
A Fantastic Women's Read !!!!!
+ They changed women's lives
+ Worth it for the footnotes alone
I absolutely loved this book. We all remember the music, have the dusty old albums, but this gave me a real insight into that time. How they were living their lives, what the songs were really about. Being a James Taylor fan also, it's interesting to see how he was intertwined in all their lives. ...
