They cover her journey from a young music enthusiast in LA to becoming a respected rock journalist, including her pivotal moment of winning Rolling Stones concert tickets that led to her radio career, the best and worst day of her life, the emotional weight of writing the book which took 40 years to sit down and write - largely due to the trauma of Lennon's death and her guilt about encountering his killer earlier that day.
