You're a fan of 1970s music scene and love a juicy memoir. Under My Skin is a#1 BESTSELLER in 5 categories. Author Elise Krentzel took charge of the tumultuous 1970s by making a name for herself as a rock journalist when still a teenager. As a kid, her parents encouraged her to sing, play music, and write, but she wasn’t allowed to be “herself.” Alienated, she hid her heart and learned to become a stranger in her skin as the torment of early childhood taught her to mistrust everyone, especially herself. As an adolescent traveling in Europe, she came to realize there was more to life than sex, money, and fame. With newly instilled vigor and drive, Elise set out to break her toxic cycles, determined to become someone people would notice. At 19 years old—the youngest journalist on the KISS Japan Tour—she negotiated a plum job with one of the most prominent players in the Japanese music industry. She desperately tried to fill the gaping hole left by feeling unheard and unloved by those she depended on most: her family. Spanning three continents and twenty years, Under My Skin tells the story of a street-smart, vulnerable Jewish girl from the Bronx and how she changed her life forever.
