Twenty years after the success of her first memoir, the New York
Times bestseller The Truth Is . . ., the Grammy and Oscar
award-winning rocker and trailblazing LGBTQAI icon takes stock of
the intervening years, recounting the euphoric triumphs and the
life-altering tragedies of her life. Live with spirit. Find peace
in the chaos. Lean into the joy. Over the past twenty years,
Melissa Etheridge has been blessed with success, love, joy,
contentment, freedom, and release. She became a mother again,
recorded eleven albums, toured the world, performed at the Grammy
Awards, won an Oscar, discovered her one true love, and underwent a
profound spiritual awakening. She also experienced illness,
incomparable loss, heartache, guilt, shame, and devastating grief.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer, endured two contentious and
public break ups, and witnessed the devastating disintegration and
death of her son, Beckett, to opioid addiction. Yet through it all,
Melissa found the strength and courage to carry on. Talking to My
Angels is a profoundly honest look into her inner life as a woman,
an artist, a mother, and a survivor. With characteristic wit and
courage, Melissa delves into how numerous tragedies served as a
catalyst for growth, and what the past two decades have taught her
about the value of music, love, family, and life in the face of
death. It is her story: as raw, vulnerable, and electrifying as her
acclaimed songs. Melissa shares hard truths about surviving and
thriving--a journey through darkness and uncertainty that leads to
forgiveness and love. A remarkable storyteller, she digs deep into
the well of her life, sharing memories that, woven together, create
a rich portrait of success and survival--an intimate, emotional and
ultimately inspiring story of healing. A memoir a lifetime in the
making, Talking to My Angels is Melissa's engrossing--and at times
harrowing--story as she lived it. It is a testament to the power of
art, a touchstone for anyone seeking a path out of darkness, and a
powerful love letter to the family and fans who've been integral to
her journey.
