Boys in the Trees

Carly Simon is a household name. She was a staple of the '70s and '80s Billboard charts and was famously married to James Taylor, with whom she has two children. Her career has spanned four decades, resulting in thirteen top 40 hits, including the Number 1 song 'You're So Vain', as well as numerous Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award. She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award for her song 'Let the River Run' (from the film Working Girl).

Boys in the Trees is a rhapsodic, beautifully composed memoir of a young woman's coming of age amongst the glamorous literati and intelligentsia of Manhattan (her father was Richard Simon, co-founder of publishing giant Simon & Schuster). It offers a reflection on a life begun amidst secrets and shame and tells a powerful story of the strength to leave it all behind to forge a path of art, music, and love in the Golden Age of folk and rock.

At once an insider's look into a life in the spotlight, a lyric reflection on a particular time in our culture's history, and a beautiful memoir about the pains and joys of love and art, Boys in the Trees is the story Carly Simon has long been waiting to tell the world.
