520    "Seventeen-year old Laura, quaking within her skin while 
       the bursting punk rock revolution explodes around her, 
       starts a band with her teenage friends called the Student 
       Teachers. She's the drummer. In comes Jimmy Destri from 
       Blondie. He thinks the Student Teachers are terrific! And 
       then he falls in love with Laura. He pulls her into the 
       glamorous life of Blondie and introduces her to David 
       Bowie. Bowie takes an interest in Laura's band, attends 
       their rehearsals, and sets them up to open for Iggy Pop at
       the Palladium on Halloween 1979. It's the beginning of 
       amazing success in rock 'n' roll! Until, in 1980, Laura is
       diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Does it all fall apart?
       Later, at a dinner with Bowie, he whispers something to 
       Laura. And it helps her save her life. In prose that flows
       like music, Laura Davis-Chanin presents a rich work of 
       narrative nonfiction that is not only deeply personal but 
       also revealing of the punk rock heyday in New York City. 
       Infused with rare photographs, this book is a journey 
       through a unique, ephemeral life experience."--|cProvided
