At age five, Tori Amos was a child prodigy on speaking terms with Beethoven and in love with the Beatles. At 11, she experienced a mid-life crisis and at 13 began her professional career at the piano in the bars of Washington DC. This book traces the journey of a minister"s rebellious daughter from her rock chick days in LA to underground success in London to worldwide critical acclaim. It details her doomed debut album "Y Kant Tori Read", her soul-searching 1992 "Little Earthquakes", and 1994"s "Under the Pink", and includes a complete discography plus full itineraries for both world tours. This book features over 150 previously unseen photographs - many from Tori"s own private archives - and interviews with Tori"s friends, family, management, record company, and with Tori herself.
