Non-Fiction Memoir
Legendary and iconic singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper offers a
poignant account of the journey that led her to become an
international superstar—from her years growing up in Queens,
New York, to the making of enduring hits like “Time After
Time,” “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” and “True Colors,” to
becoming an actress, a mother, an outspoken activist, and
maintaining a music career that has lasted more than thirty
years. After leaving her childhood home at seventeen,
Cyndi took on a series of jobs: racetrack hot walker, IHOP
waitress, and, as she puts it, “gal Friday the thirteenth,”
as she pursued her passion for music. She worked her way up
playing small gigs and broke out in 1983 with She’s So
Unusual, which earned her a Grammy for Best New Artist
and made her the first female artist in history to have four
top-five singles on a debut album. And while global fame
wasn’t always what she expected, she has remained focused on
what matters most. Cyndi is a gutsy real-life heroine who
has never been afraid to speak her mind and stick up for a
cause—whether it’s women’s rights, gay rights, or fighting
against HIV/AIDS. With her trademark warmth and
humor, Cyndi fearlessly writes of a life she’s lived only on
her own terms.
