Ann Daniels 'If you have ever found yourself in a rut listening to endless podcasts like Desert Island Discs, this book is for you.'

It brings the Desert Island Discs archive alive in a skilful and meticulously researched interweaving of a myriad of interconnected stories, Jessica Hepburn takes us on a journey of love and loss but it is so much more than an autobiography - it draws on the power of music, why it matters and means so much to the many protagonists who stories are included. A tour de force of obsession, resilience, and challenge.' Alexandra Lamont 'This extraordinary woman took me on an unexpected journey of adventure. Deeply personal, searingly honest, achingly painful. Jessica writes with such self-deprecating heart, you can't help but love the bones of her.

Jessica's story will dare you to answer your own call to adventure.'
