Janis Joplin has passed into legend as an impassioned soul doomed by the pain that produced one of the most extraordinary voices in the history of rock and roll. But this intimate biography shows a woman in command, who won her place in history by never compromising who she was and how she wanted to express herself. Joplin's first transgressive act was to be a white girl with an early passion for the blues. She stood out in her conservative Texas oil town as a tomboy who was intellectually curious and artistic, drawing the scorn of her peers for her progressive views. Like many groundbreaking artists, she was complicated. A musician who stumbled over her talent but then became determined to perfect it, a lover who wanted to marry and settle down but couldn't or wouldn't, a Texan who could never quite get away, even after becoming the queen of countercultural San Francisco. Her success was no accident, and this is the story of her very intentional life.
