 A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"A memoir as fierce, freewheeling, and passionate as her music."
--O, the Oprah magazine

A memoir by the celebrated singer-songwriter and social activist Ani DiFranco

In her new memoir, No Walls and the Recurring Dream, Ani DiFranco recounts her early life from a place of hard-won wisdom, combining personal expression, the power of music, feminism, political activism, storytelling, philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and much more into an inspiring whole. In these frank, honest, passionate, and often funny pages is the tale of one woman's eventful and radical journey to the age of thirty. Ani's coming of age story is defined by her ethos of fierce independence--from being an emancipated minor sleeping in a Buffalo bus station, to unwaveringly building a career through appearances at small clubs and festivals, to releasing her first album at the age of 18, to consciously rejecting the mainstream recording industry and creating her own label, Righteous Babe Records. In these pages, as in life, she never hesitates to question established rules and expectations, maintaining a level of artistic integrity that has inspired and challenged more than a few. Ani continues to be a major touring and recording artist as well as a celebrated activist and feminist, standing as living proof that you can overcome all personal and societal obstacles to be who you are and to follow your dreams.

So pleased I listened to no Walls and the recurring Dreams it was read by Ani DiFranco herself. I’ve been a fan of her music for over 20 years but knew very little about her life. This bounces from info and background to political and social influences, to music and so much more. All with her distinctive writing style.

I suppose it is difficult to be objective about an autobiography when you have strong views about the author. So I should say I love Ani's work. From this perspective I loved hearing her story, and her reading of it. Inevitably, as Ani herself says, this is just one view of her life. But it is enlightening and uplifting. No doubt some people will want to hear other things about her life, but I am always glad to hear what an author chooses to say.

A fascinating story of a great songwriter
