Janice Ian wrote her first hit single at 14 years old. At 23, she won her first Grammy. Later that year, her album went platinum and was number one on the Billboard Top 100. She worked with the most preeminent musicians of her time and was lauded for writing songs that were not just popular, but profound and important. But behind the brightness of fame, she struggled – with depression, addiction, abuse, and her sexuality. Now in her 70s, Ian revisits the rise and fall of her career, her best and brightest moments alongside her darkest and most hopeless ones.
