Perfect for you if...

You grew up on Heart's anthems and want to know the real story behind the songs, the fights, and the sisterhood that kept them going.
You love music memoirs that go beyond the surface and explore what it actually took to be a female-fronted rock band in the 70s and 80s.
You're drawn to stories about sibling partnerships and how two people can create something neither could alone.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for rock memoir scandal and excess. The Wilsons' story is more about the craft and the bond than wild backstage tales.
You prefer ghostwritten memoirs with a smooth, polished narrative voice. This one reads like the sisters actually talking, which some find raw and others find unfocused.
You have no connection to Heart's music and aren't interested in the deep history of 70s and 80s rock.

About this book

Kicking & Dreaming chronicles the history of Heart, the rock band formed by sisters Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson. Beginning as teenagers in Seattle, Washington, the Wilsons have been central figures in American rock music since the 1970s, producing hits including "Magic Man" and "Barracuda" in the 70s, chart-topping 80s ballads like "Alone," and continuing through 2012 with their studio album Fanatic. In this memoir, the Wilsons recount their shared experience across more than three decades as performers, songwriters, musicians, and band leaders. The book offers an intimate and honest account of life in rock and roll from a female perspective, told by two sisters at the center of one of America's most beloved rock bands.
