ONE OF BILLBOARD'S "100 GREATEST MUSIC BOOKS OF ALL TIME" The provocative transgender advocate and lead singer of the punk rock band Against Me! shares a powerful account of her journey to self-discovery. It all began in a bedroom in Naples, Florida, where a rebellious teenager named Tom Gabel, armed with an acoustic guitar and anarchist ideals, formed Against Me! The band evolved from its humble beginnings—playing on makeshift drum kits—to becoming a major-label force, often compared to The Clash. Since 1997, Against Me! has been a significant yet polarizing figure in punk music, gaining new fans while alienating some of their original supporters. Amidst legal troubles and a changing lineup, Gabel grappled with a profound personal secret, documented in journals and lyrics for 30 years. After a tumultuous childhood and struggles with addiction, it wasn't until May 2012 that a Rolling Stone profile revealed Gabel's truth: she is a trans woman named Laura Jane Grace. This memoir intertwines the band's history with Grace's personal journey, featuring previously unseen journal entries. More than just a music memoir filled with the usual rock 'n' roll themes, it offers an intimate glimpse into one of rock's most extraordinary narratives.
