It is a candid retrospective of the extraordinary success achieved, and the prices that had to be paid. "After 'Snowbird' hit, I was swept up like Dorothy inThe Wizard of Oz, and catapulted into a strange new universe ... If I thought for a moment that I was really in control of events, I was deluded." Anne Murray An unflinching self-portrait of Canada's first great female recording artist,All of Medocuments the life of Anne Murray, from her humble origins in the tragedy-plagued coal-mining town of Springhill, Nova Scotia, to her arrival on the world stage.

The result is a must-read autobiography by Canada's beloved songbird. From the Hardcover edition.
