Natural woman: a memoir. Carole King. 2013.

She created the soundtrack of our lives. Now, at last, she tells the stories behind the music. Here is the long-awaited memoir from one of the world’s most acclaimed musical talents, Carole King.

From her beginnings as a teenage song-writer who hid from the spotlight to her first time timidly singing lead in front of an audience to her present-day status as a consummate pro performing her beloved songs in front of thousands, King chronicles her extraordinary career, taking readers deep into the world of music from them1960s to the present.

Woven throughout are King’s deeply personal and revealing descriptions of her childhood in Brooklyn, her experiences as a young bride and then young mother, her subsequent moves all over America, and the relationships with men and fellow musicians that shaped who she is and why she is the artist, mother and woman she is today.
