Would you like your business......to burst into public awareness like Lady Gaga?...to have the long-lived success of Mick Jagger?...to demonstrate the creativity of The Beatles? We don’t normally think of the music business as a source of entrepreneurial insight, but we should.

After two years of waiting to adopt - slogging through paperwork and bouncing between hope and despair - a miracle finally happened for Vanessa McGrady. Her sweet baby, Grace, was a dream come true.

Sex, No Drugs & Rock'N'Roll: Memoirs of a Music Junkie is a "balls-to-the-wall" coming of age narrative explicitly told through the eyes of a musical "baby-boomer Holden Caulfield", simultaneously maturing with the country itself.
