Publisher's Summary
In this revealing autobiography, Canada’s first lady of song, for the first time, tells the whole story of her astonishing 40-year career in show biz. 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 in The 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 Me documents 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. Anne recounts her story: the battles with her record companies over singles and albums; the struggle with drug- and alcohol-ridden band members; the terrible guilt and loneliness of being away from her two young children; her divorce from the man who helped launch her career, Bill Langstroth; and the deaths of two of her closest confidantes. The result is a must-hear autobiography by Canada’s beloved songbird.
Critic Reviews
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"It is warm, straightforward and candid, and Posner has wisely dimmed his own stylistic light in order to let her voice come through. And it does, sometimes with low-key, self-deprecating humour and surprising honesty, and always with a lack of pretentiousness."—The Globe and Mail
"In keeping with Murray's down-to-earth honesty, the [book]...provides a balanced account of her life that covers both career highs (her 54 million records sold and dozens of awards) and personal lows (the dissolution of her marriage and her daughter's struggle with anorexia)."—Calgary Sun
"Anne Murray's new memoir blows the lid off her image as the fresh-faced all-Canadian singing sensation.... A fast-paced and revealing autobiography."—Winnipeg Free Press

Thoroughly open and enjoyable!
I will begin with Anne’s own words, “well, well, well”!
Just as I thought it would be, a completely open and honest account of Anne Murray’s life, both professionally and personally, with Anne’s quietly wicked sense of humour mixed in to round off the entertainment!
Having been a huge fan of many years, loving Anne’s voice, song selection, classic dress sense, relaxed manner, and just letting her voice sell itself!
A wonderfully uncomplicated, true and natural talent …… this book reflects exactly that, thank you!😁
