The High Life and Dark Depths of Music's Most Controversial Icon

Courtney Love first met with TheFix.com's Editor-in-Chief Maer Roshan a night before the "Rally for Recovery," an annual New York City event that was supposed to be the scene of her latest comeback. Roshan arrived at SoHo's Mercer Hotel armed with a note-pad and a tape recorder. He arrive to find Courtney slumped in a banquette, nursing a bottle of Stella.

For the next four hours, holed up in her cluttered, couture-filled suite at the tony SoHo hotel, the battle-scarred legend spoke candidly about her thrilling and often tragic life—dwelling on her battle with addiction, her ambivalence about AA and her many stints in rehab. Over the next nine months, they went on to meet a dozen more times. In the meantime, Courtney kept up an almost hourly dialogue with the author—emailing, phoning, texting and tweeting him nearly 24 hours a day.

The resulting book—culled from a year of interviews and independent reporting—is a rare look into the manic mind of a musical icon, a grieving mother, and a struggling addict.
