Author of In Between Shoes the A Sides and the B Sides. Which are about growing up punk in a not so punk world. Being privy to the beginning of the iconic sound of 90’s alternative bands playing for beer money and a place to sleep while navigating her teenage years with high school band and the infamous City Gardens. The A sides brings you into the life starting in 1989 central jersey through the highs and lows of what she went through. The B Sides continues this journey which I am still reading now. When I first saw this book I was immediately drawn in. With the cover being a picture of a pair of docs at the fence outside of City Gardens, Trenton, NJ. Reading her books is like when you buy a record you never listened to, but you just know your gonna like it.I urge anyone who is punk from anywhere and especially if you grew up in NJ going to City Gardens. That is all of my friends back on the Jersey Shore. So take a listen and then go Buy these books and read them with great joy.
