Society's Child by Janis Ian

4.0

I listened to Janis Ian’s memoir courtesy of Audible and have had When I Was Seventeen stuck in my head in a loop ever since. Her voice is hauntingly smooth. Beginning at age fourteen and continuing for the next forty years, her memoir paints a thorough picture of the music business. She unflinchingly details her abusive relationships, money successes and extreme struggles, and those along the way who taught her valuable lessons.
