Pieces of My Heart: a Free Spirited Gypsy's Journey

Pieces of My Heart: A Free-Spirited Gypsy's Journey
Thru her heart and soul...and hell. - A True Story

Jump on the back with motorcycle mama Katy Ishee, as she wildly steers us on a blistering ride of unwed motherhood, familial alienation, bikers, drugs, and insane asylums--you won't know whether to fall on your knees and pray to the Almighty or get stone drunk and listen to Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead.

When 17-year-old Katy is forced to surrender her son to strangers, her life becomes a web of secrets, lies and rebellion.

Learn the hidden, yet true secrets of how unwed mothers are treated by the System, and what actually goes on in government-approved mental wards. A vivid picture of horror is painted as she describes her ten electro-convulsive shock treatments.

Her rebellion grows as she travels from Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love, through the brotherhood of motorcycling and four abusive marriages, even spending some time in sick-slick Hollywood ... across the country, back-and-forth, stubbornly refusing to give up on her dream.

Katy s is that spirit that refuses to compromise either with her herself or the world around her. It is that spirit that refuses to be quiet for the sake of expediency but rather screams to be heard. It is that indomitable spirit that never gives up and in the end is proven to be the best of what it is that makes us human.

This is Katy Ishee. This is Pieces of My Heart. This is a new, fresh voice that needs to be heard.
