Under My Skin - Drama, Trauma & Rock 'n' Roll, is a memoir about a feisty teenager who grew up in the 70s in NYC, became a rock journalist, toured with KISS to Japan and stayed there. Allowed to express herself artistically growing up she was shut down emotionally and couldn't be herself. Seeking love and attention from her family eludes her as she traverses three continents before the age of twenty.
