In this long-awaited, emotionally powerful memoir,   HEAVY METAL S LEADING FEMALE ROCKER (Rolling Stone) opens up about the 70s and 80s music scene and her trailblazing life as the lead guitarist of the pioneering band (New York Times) the Runaways and her platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated solo career. Hailed as the mother of all metal (Los Angeles Times) and one of the greatest female electric guitar players to ever pick up the instrument (Elle), Lita Ford bares her soul in Living Like a Runaway.

Review:
“Fearless. ... A vivid account of life as ‘the one-and-only guitar-playing rocker chick who could shred like I did.’ ... A fast-paced read... and an inspiring one.” (Rolling Stone)

“[A] fun, often hilarious coming-of-age memoir of a rocker chick who can rip through serious lead guitar solos as good -- or usually better -- than the next guy. ... Delightfully detailed. ... [Ford] tells plenty of colorful ‘80s rocker stories. ... Freewheeling.” (Philadelphia Inquirer)

“[A] tell-all book. ... No one lived larger than sexy heavy-metal guitarist and singer Lita Ford.” (New York Post)

“Ford is a surprisingly skilled raconteur - or is that rock-conteur. ... The sex scenes provide the juice, but when she talks about learning solos straight from Blackmore, or out-jamming Holmes on stage, or writing songs with Osbourne, Ford proves that at heart she’s a great guitarist.” (Los Angeles Times)

“Heavy rock’s first female guitar hero.” (Washington Post)

“Heavy metal’s leading female rocker.” (Rolling Stone)

“One of the greatest female electric guitar players to ever pick up the instrument.” (Elle)

“Lita Ford is the coolest and most rock-n-roll female guitarist I ever heard. No guitarist-male or female-ever looked better with a Hamer Explorer than Lita.” (SLASH)

“The mother of all metal.” (Los Angeles Times)

“[A] legendary metal icon.” (Guitar World)
From the Back Cover:

Wielding her signature black guitar, Lita Ford shredded the stereotypes of female musicians throughout the 1970s and ’80s, starting with the world’s first major all-female rock group, the Runaways, then as a platinum-selling solo artist who shared the bill with the Ramones, Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Poison, and others—and who gave Ozzy Osbourne his first Top 10 hit. Then followed more than a decade of silence and darkness: a tumultuous marriage that left her feeling trapped, isolated from the rock-and-roll scene for more than a decade—and most tragically—alienated from her two beloved sons.

Living Like a Runaway is Lita Ford’s epic story—the dramatic chronicle of a pioneer who became “heavy rock’s first female guitar hero” (Washington Post), of a fierce woman who kicked ass in the male-dominated rock scene, and of a returning queen who has reclaimed her soul and stormed back to the stage “as badass as ever” (Guitar Player).
