This book starts out very thick and cerebral, delving into the intricacies of uniqueness and creativity. The author speaks of the travails of the artist being of this world while feeling apart from it. Her self consciousness made her feel selfish and she didn't try to deny it. She didn't feel superior, just different. She didn't spend much time trying to psychoanalyze herself, she just let it out through her music.
About a quarter of the way through, the writing becomes more balanced with the timeline of Mitchell's life and the analysis of how her life experiences affected her musical creativity. Childhood polio affected her hands in such a way that she couldn't easily play the guitar in standard tuning so she learned to in open tuning and even create her own.
