DESCRIPTION:
Must read and listen to their music!!!! Great condition! I really hope this book was read! I read it!! It was bound with a large chunk of it upside down but I couldn't stop reading it and just tuned it upside down! I've featured Rays music on my radio shows and love knowing more about them!. Rex said What there is of it, is well written,. What there is of it, is well written, but it seems incomplete. I get the impression each chapter was written as Rae traveled from one singing gig to the next and not necessarily in the order presented. Ends just when you think there will be light at the end of t. "If you like Ivan E Coyote you will like Rae Spoon" according to Segen. Gritty short memoir stories that speak to your soul and tug on your heart strings.Now that I read their book I will listen to their music, maybe you should give them a try too.
This collection of tender-hearted coming-of-age stories is an impressive literary gem." Zoe Whittall, author of Holding Still for as Long as Possible"First Spring Grass Fire will be meaningful to anyone who has struggled to fit in and who hasn’t? By telling these stories of being different, queer, raised in a rigid belief system you didn’t choose, trying to be yourself within circumstances you can’t control Rae Spoon illustrates the triumph in reclaiming and controlling your own identity. "Rae Spoon is definitely more than a songwriter to swoon for; I predict that First Spring Grass Fire will be a curative for all the heartbroken kids in small towns trying to fight for their right to be who they are. This moving collection is a story of what we do to find a place, physical or intangible, that we can call home."National Post"A heartbreaking, fictionalized, short-story memoir." Ms. Magazine<
With a heart as big as the prairie sky, this is a quietly devastating, heart-wrenching coming-of-age book about escaping dogma, surviving abuse, finding love, and risking everything for acceptance.Rae Spoon lives in Montreal, Quebec.. This first book by Rae (who uses "they" as a pronoun) is a candid, powerful story about a young person growing up queer in a strict Pentecostal family in rural Canada.The narrator attends church events and Billy Graham rallies faithfully with their family before discovering the music that becomes their salvation and means of escape. Transgender indie electronica singer-songwriter Rae Spoon has six albums to their credit, including 2012’s I Can’t Keep All of Our Secrets. As their father's schizophrenia causes their parents' marriage to unravel, the narrator finds solace and safety in the company of their siblings, in their nascent feelings for a girl at school, and in their growing awareness that they are not the person their parents think they are
