Recommend! - Skin is a great musician and writes epic songs about life, but she is also a very positive and dynamic person who sees the best in everyone and loves adventure - of which this book contains many. I love the way she and excellent writer Lucy O'Brien tell her story starting from where her family came from and the influences that shape her childhood, growing up in Brixton with her strict and loving mum providing an anchor in the turbulent racism and anti-racism of the 1980s. Skin seeks integrity and truth and from her friends gains the confidence to push back at abusive boyfriend and harassment from a street stalker. From these experiences, she realizes the importance of finding her voice. She keeps searching until she discovers who she feels happy to be, the band she loves to play with and the musical energy that makes every concert a best-ever for the audience because of sheer spontaneous energy and raw waves of music. The book is inspiringly honest, reading between the lines you can see Skin's persistence, discipline and drive in picking up and giving her best again and again. The story is beautifully crafted too, great selection, fastmoving and a page turner as Skin's character and the band's world beating career grow, get setbacks, and eventually recover better into a beautiful positive vibe. Whether you like her music or care to read insights into difficulties and beauties of being Black in Britain - or the world - this is a highly recommended book of honesty, leadership, integrity, respect, passion, history and music, and non-stop searching.
