Jann Arden
À propos de cet audio
Jann Arden is funny. And sincere. She has legions of devoted fans. And a radio show. She is a darling of the music scene - always candid, always unplugged. You thought you knew Jann Arden, but there is more - to her listeners' delight, in Falling Backwards Jann reveals her childhood, her bond with family, her struggle in the formative years and what keeps her so grounded in the whirlwind entertainment industry. Jann has always been true to herself, except for a minor lapse when she was young. Oh wait, wasn't that all of us?
From the tender and honest to the laugh-out-loud funny, Jann's stories from home and from the road during her pre-celebrity years will take you to unexpected places, including high school parties in farmer's fields, sleepovers under the stars, hard-to-believe summer jobs and the time she was stuck upside down in a brick barbecue. She reminds us of the inestimable value to a child of having teachers who believe in you and wide open spaces to play. But with the good times come the bad (and not just the bad perm).
Jann opens up about the darker side of her so-called prairie-perfect nuclear family and the first signs that her eldest brother was a uniquely troubled young man. In the days when Jann was experiencing a lot of firsts - first school play, first home perm, first kiss - how lucky for all of us that she stole away to her basement and taught herself her first song on her mother's guitar.
In addition to being an incredible musician and multi-award-winning lyricist, Jann is a natural writer and simply an inspiration. Jann will capture your heart - and keep you in stitches - with her powerful stories about coming of age as an artist and as a human being. Jann brings her wit and that infectious sparkle to everything she does. This book is no exception.

Histoire
It is a moment that remains frozen in history. When the Mercedes carrying Diana, Princess of Wales, spun fatally out of control in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris in August 1997, the world was shocked by what appeared to be a terrible accident. But two decades later, the circumstances surrounding what really happened that night - and, crucially, why it happened - remain mired in suspicion, controversy, and misinformation. Until now.

Histoire
Jann Arden moved in to a house just across the way from her parents in rural Alberta to be close to them but also so they could be her refuge from the demands of the music business and a performing career. Funny how time works. Since her dad died in 2015, Jann cooks for her mom five or six times a week. Her mom finds comfort in her daughter's kitchen, not just in the delicious food but also just sitting with her as she cooks. And Jann finds some peace in caring for her mom, even as her mom slowly becomes a stranger.

Histoire
Rick Mercer can always be relied on to provoke a strong reaction - but what he said one fall day in 2017 truly shocked Canada. In a rant posted on social media, the great Canadian satirist announced loud and clear that the 15th season of the Rick Mercer Report - the nation's best-watched and best-loved comedy show - would be the last. This volume brings together never-before-published rants from the last five seasons of the show, plus a selection of the very best rants from earlier years.

Histoire
Is there a more sociable province than Newfoundland and Labrador? Or anywhere in Canada with a greater reputation for coming to the rescue of those in need? At this time of Covid, singer, songwriter and best-selling author Alan Doyle is feeling everyone's pain. Off the road and spending more days at home than he has since he was a child hawking cod tongues on the wharfs of Petty Harbour, he misses the crowds and companionship of performing. We're all experiencing our own version of that deprivation, and Alan, one of Newfoundland's finest storytellers, wants to offer a little balm.

Ce que les critiques en disent
National Best Seller
"As talented, funny and engaging as Jann Arden can be, perhaps the most impressive thing about the eight-time Juno Award winner is her modesty." (The Globe and Mail)
"The type of free-spirited, brutally truthful woman who can stand toe to toe with any man or woman. Funny and not afraid to sprinkle an interview with helpings of words your mother would never allow in the house, Arden is two parts poet and one part your crazy aunt." (The Toronto Sun)
"[Jann Arden is] abundantly and humorously generous with herself in public.... No doubt Arden holds some secrets, some passions, some pain close to the vest, but, like the best gossip in the neighbourhood, she diverts our attention with titillating yarns." (Toronto Star)

Your words are so similar to my own!!
As I started listening to your words, I couldn't believe how similar they were to my own. The only difference being that it was my Mom who was abusive to my warm and loving Dad and I was the only adoptee out of 5 children. I am now 60 and have been talking about writing my own Memoir and after listening to your words, I know now that I need to continue where I have left off. Your own experiences of sexual abuse are so similar to my own except that I would be coerced by words where saying 'NO' didn't matter. Thank you so much for sharing your many experiences, good, bad, sad and happy!! I have been a great fan of yours from the first time I heard 'Insenitive'. I couldn't believe my luck when I won a pair of tickets to one of your Vancouver concerts and enjoyed your wit and all of your songs you sang that night. You are a Canadian treasure in my eyes!!! Love you Jann!!!

Jann Fan
It was nice to hear Jann voice reading her own story. As much as her life has been challenging, it's wonderful that it was also so ordinary. Her genuine Jann shines through.

A Treasured Canadian Storyteller
Though Jann is most famously known for her music, her storytelling is a close second for me. I feel like I was living inside each story Jann told in this memoir and walking with her through her childhood. I look forward to reading more of Jann's books (while listening to her music, of course...like a true fan!!)

A must listen
Jann is such a great storyteller. She is honest, open and hilarious. She has always been one of my favorite singer songwriters ever since I first saw her and Dave Hart way back when. Now she's a favorite author as well.

Wonderful!
Thank you Jann for writing this book. Jann tells her story with honesty and a down to earth warmth. I felt as though she is a close friend, sitting around the kitchen table, sharing her adventures. Some were uplifting, some a challenge. So relatable, It was like I was living her past along with her. I could not put the audiobook down. There were parts that touched home so deeply, but all left a feeling of kindred sisterhood.
