Little Susie from Detroit grew up to be legendary rocker Suzi Quatro, international superstar musician and actress, icon of the Seventies. The transformation was fuelled by huge talent, determination, hard work, and a fabulous sense of humour, but it wasn't easy.

In Unzipped, Suzi tells her story of life behind the scenes and in the thick of it, working, partying, and rocking with other legendary figures such as Noddy Holder, Alice Cooper, and Iggy Pop. Little Susie learned a love of music at home with her fascinating, fractious family, then she forged her sound by touring dives all over the States. She came to London just as Glam Rock was kicking off and became a star, a passionate woman in a man's world.

Then there was fame as a Hollywood actress in Happy Days, a turbulent personal life, and the need to juggle her family with her career, touring all over the world. There were lows as well as highs, but she never lost her total joy in music or her sense of adventure.

Suzi Quatro has met anyone who was anyone in music over the last thirty years. She remembers it all, and this brilliantly personal, funny book is her thrilling account of a life lived going hell for leather.
