In a career spanning twenty-five years, John Denver has gained international acclaim as a singer, songwriter, actor, and environmental activist. His iconic songs, such as "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and "Rocky Mountain High," have become universal anthems. However, less than three decades ago, he was a young man with just a fine voice, a guitar, and a dream. Raised in a conservative military family, he defied expectations by dropping out of college to pursue music in Los Angeles during the vibrant Sixties. In this memoir, Denver chronicles the experiences that shaped his life, revealing the inner journey of a shy Midwestern boy whose complex relationship with fame has defined his first fifty years. With candor and humor, he reflects on his childhood, his early days in L.A., his time with the Mitchell Trio, and his breakout hit "Leaving on a Jet Plane," leading to a career that made him a household name. He also delves into his relationships with significant women in his life, including his first wife, Annie Martell, and his second wife, Cassandra Delaney, as well as his family and friends. Honest and rich in anecdotes, this memoir offers an engaging glimpse into the life of a beloved artist.
