DESCRIPTION:
Brave! In the 'six degree from' game, I feel fairly close to Jewel and her family. And since my cruise to Alaska in June over a decade ago I have a sacred place in my heart for that "Last Frontier", and Kilcher family. So with the above in mind, when I saw this book on sale for $.99, I grabbed it.This is not a fantasy book, . T. Cruz said Perfect graduation gift for the young woman in your life!. I didn't know who Jewel was when I first read these poems so experienced them entirely on their own merit. Simple, direct, poignant - it was like an old friends saying allowed they things I already knew in my heart but did not have the words for. Get this book, you will not be disappointed.

Theground will freeze soon. Jewel paints an unblinkingly honest picture of the exceptional journey that carried her to the world's stage.Here, as if pulled from a stack of snapshots, are Jewel's moment-by-moment observations on life as she now lives it: the
Unfortunately, her descriptive writing suffers too frequently from a surfeit of sentiment ("Do I like the dream I've dreamed or have I begun to feel like a prisoner of the dream?"). (Oct.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Publishers Weekly This highly personal collection of essays, anecdotes and spontaneous statements accompanied by sweet, primitive drawings deals with Jewel's atypical childhood in Alaska, her struggling-musician days and her eventually successful music career, characterized by constant touring and putting up with the consequences of fame. Jewel recognizes artistic quality when she sees it and often brings up names and their associations (touring with Bob Dylan, thinking about Italo Calvino's "If" before taking the stage), perhaps in an attempt to connect with them, and to show her admiration. Jewel's name will carry this book a l
