Feels Like Home: A Song for the Sonoran Borderlands by Linda Ronstadt

 

Feels Like Home: A Song for the Sonoran Borderlands by Linda Ronstadt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

(Audible Version) Most memoirs of musicians focus on their own lives or careers but this one goes much further back. In this though we go deeper into Linda's family history and where she grew up in the Sonoran Borderlands region of Arizona(U.S. and Mexican border). In what was apparently first conceived as a cookbook soon turned into a love letter from Linda to the place where she grew up. Through the eyes of her family we learn abut the the history of the region and how it has changed over the years. On a personal level food is still mentioned but we also see how her families love of music undoubtedly influenced her live and career. Linda's love for her family and home where she grew up is readily apparent throughout the book. If you're a fan of Linda's and want to really dive deep into her life, influences where she grew up this would be a great book to read.
