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

Honest, Entertaining Autobiography

Anne has always been one of my favorite singers. It’s not only because of her beautiful voice but because of her authenticity on stage and ability to own her triumphs and challenges. This comes through again in her autobiography. Read in her own voice, this audible book doesn’t disappoint. Some original recordings end some chapters. You won’t be able to hear those goodies in an actual book.

All of you plus

Anne, I want to thank you for sharing yourself to the world. Alot of songs have helped me thru my journey. I have seen you many of times. Los Vegas, Disney World and Merryville In. those were my happy times. Singer have come and gone. But you still are my favorite singer, yes even over the Beatles. Your book was very interesting listening to. I must admit I fell asleep a couple times. Ever thought About doing some relaxing tapes, you have a great voice for that. I am so sorry you gave up so much thru the years. Glad you are your enjoying your retirement. Thanks for the memories...

Do yourself a favor.

That comforting, articulate, and gentle voice…could listen to her read the phone book. Good listen.
