Review:
NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"As talented, funny and engaging as Jann Arden can be, perhaps the most impressive thing about the eight-time Juno Award winner is her modesty."
--The Globe and Mail

"The type of free-spirited, brutally truthful woman who can stand toe to toe with any man or woman. Funny and not afraid to sprinkle an interview with helpings of words your mother would never allow in the house, Arden is two parts poet and one part your crazy aunt."
--The Toronto Sun

"[Jann Arden is] abundantly and humorously generous with herself in public. . . . No doubt Arden holds some secrets, some passions, some pain close to the vest, but, like the best gossip in the neighbourhood, she diverts our attention with titillating yarns."
--Toronto Star"

"If it were possible to distil the mirth in a person's eyes onto the page, this memoir would be the result.... If readers aren't already fans, they are going to be after taking in her nostalgic, at times even lyrical, and frequently belly-laugh-inducing accounts of growing up."
--Winnipeg Free Press

"A pretty great, easy, light read, and succeeds because it's written entirely in Arden's voice."
--The Gazette

"Incredibly rich...a universally relatable coming-of-age portrait pieced together from 30 years' worth of sorrow, laughter and joy."
--Ottawa Citizen

"A compelling read, told in Arden's conversational style."
--The Hamilton Spectator

You thought you knew Jann Arden, but there is moreto her readers' delight, in Falling Backwards Jann reveals her childhood, her bond with family, her struggle in the formative years and what keeps her so grounded in the whirlwind entertainment industry. Jann has always been true to herself, except for a minor lapse when she was young. Oh wait, wasn't that all of us? From the tender and honest to the laugh-out-loud funny, Jann's stories from home and from the road during her pre-celebrity years will take you to unexpected places, including high school parties in farmer's fields, sleepovers under the stars, hard-to-believe summer jobs and the time she was stuck upside down in a brick barbecue. She reminds us of the inestimable value to a child of having teachers who believe in you and wide open spaces to play. But with the good times come the bad (and not just the bad perm). Jann opens up about the darker side of her so-called prairie perfect nuclear family and the first signs that her eldest brother was a uniquely troubled young man. In the days when Jann was experiencing a lot of firstsfirst school play, first home perm, first kisshow lucky for all of us that she stole away to her basement and taught herself her first song on her mother's guitar. In addition to being an incredible musician and multi-award-winning lyricist, Jann is a natural writer and simply an inspiration. Jann will capture your heartand keep you in stitcheswith her powerful stories about coming of age as an artist and as a human being. Jann brings her wit and that infectious sparkle to everything she does. This book is no exception. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
