Broken-down vehicles. Premenopausal libido. A punk rock-loving teen to share the culture shock with. I don’t think Hank done it this way.

A few years after her 1996 breakthrough album Diary Of A Mod Housewife, singer/songwriter Amy Rigby is still figuring out who she is. Closing in on forty, a newly-divorced mom trying to tour, work temp jobs, and keep a car running, Amy is ready for a change. She trades her beloved NYC for Nashville, where she navigates music, men and motherhood to learn the hard way that outside validation is no substitute for self-belief.

Girl To Country goes deeper than one woman’s geographical move: it details what happens after the coming of age and first flash of achievement. Following on from her acclaimed debut memoir Girl To City, where Amy fumbled her way to becoming an artist in late twentieth century NYC, Girl To Country depicts the tricky second act of a creative life: how do you keep doing the work you love into your forties and beyond in a game everyone told you was only for the young? What’s the price for juggling parenthood with fulfilling your dreams? And how about love—will it knock you off balance or help you keep going?
