Foreword by Paul McCartney.

From the dust jacket inner left flap:

For over twenty years, John Lennon's family has been inundated with requests for interviews, which it has rarely granted. Now Julia Baird, John's half sister, has decided it is time to tell the family's story in full. Her book is a unique portrait of John Lennon: a personal and deeply moving testament to the brother behind the superstar. It is also a tribute to their mother, Julia, whose musical talents and sense of fun were part of her son's heritage.

Julia Baird describes the five women who shaped the lives of John and his younger sisters and the unorthodox Liverpool upbringing that produced one of the greatest songwriters of the century - and gave rise to unfounded rumors of his "deprived" childhood. She tells of the great love they shared for their mother, who, like John, died tragically young, and about whom he wrote the song "Julia". She also describes John's sudden yearning - at the age of thirty-five - for his family in England, when he began a series of long-distance phone conversations with his sister, discussing topics ranging from his marriage to Yoko to the best way to cook lamb.

Paul McCartney has joined Julia in her retrospective on Lennon by contributing a foreword, and his in-depth interview with her is an insightful addition to the text. Extensive photographs from the family's private photo albums, as well as letters the family received from John, will reveal a facet of the artist's life previously unknown to the public. John Lennon's music stirred generations of listeners, and this book is the perfect companion for those interested in the forces that influenced his music.
