Rock trailblazer and a good Catholic girl

Suzi Quatro is very far from Mötley Crüe, so if you are looking for the "sex, drugs and rock and roll" scene then this may not be for you. We get an intimate view of a very strong willed woman from childhood up to the present seen through her lens as well as her family and celebrities she has worked with and influenced. As a European I only knew of her music, but in her home country she didn't break through until far later than in the rest of the world and not primarily through her music but in large part from a recurring role in "Happy Days". The pragmatic and down to earth nature of this Detroit rock star is what sets her apart and makes this a very unusual tale of rock stardom that people should know about.
