This memoir investigates the personal cost of life within the inner circle of rock and roll stardom, specifically focusing on the marriage between Jo Wood and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. The author, Jo Wood, provides a firsthand account of her transition from a young model to the wife of a high-profile musician, detailing the volatile environment of global tours, substance use, and the eventual dissolution of her marriage. Her narrative serves as both a retrospective on the hedonistic lifestyle of the 1970s and 1980s and a study in personal reinvention following a public divorce.

The text offers a candid, personal perspective on the realities of celebrity culture, providing a grounded look at the domestic side of rock stardom. It functions as an accessible account for readers interested in music history and the personal experiences of those living in the periphery of fame.
