#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER Storyteller. Counsellor. Life coach. Canadian singer Jann Arden wears all those hats-and more-in her latest memoir . . . If I Knew Then will strike vibrato chords with readers. Like her song lyrics, Arden's phrasing is simple, authentic and rich. It resonates. She wears her wounds on her sleeve, and isn't afraid to show her scars. -Winnipeg Free Press Praise for Jann Arden: The type of free-spirited, brutally truthful woman who can stand toe to toe with any man or woman. Funny and not afraid to sprinkle an interview with helpings of words your mother would never allow in the house, Arden is two parts poet and one part your crazy aunt. -The Toronto Sun [Jann Arden is] abundantly and humorously generous with herself in public. . . . No doubt Arden holds some secrets, some passions, some pain close to the vest, but, like the best gossip in the neighbourhood, she diverts our attention with titillating yarns. -Toronto Star
