* A musical force and a catalyst for social change: At the age of eighteen Baez was an international star with a Time magazine cover story; fifty years later she has thirty-three albums to her credit.

An extraordinary woman who has led an eventful life, Baez's memoir is as honest, unpretentious, and courageous as she is. .
