NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Jann Arden—bestselling author, recording artist and late-blooming TV star—is back with this funny, heartfelt and fierce memoir on becoming a woman of a certain age. The power, gravity and freedom she’s found at fifty-seven are superpowers she believes all of us can unleash.
Digging deep into her strengths, her failures and her losses, Jann Arden brings us an inspiring account of how she has surprised herself, in her fifties, by at last becoming completely her own person. Like many women, it took Jann a long time to realize that trying to be pleasing and likeable and beautiful in the eyes of others was a loser’s game. Letting it rip, and damning the consequences, is not only liberating, it’s a hell of a lot of fun: “Being the age I am—that so many women are—is just the best time of my life.”
Jann weaves her own story together with tales of her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, and the father she came close to hating, to show her younger self—and all of us—that fear and avoidance is no way to live. “What I’m thinking about now aren’t all the ways I can try to hang on to my youth or all the seconds ticking by in some kind of morbid countdown to death,” she writes, “but rather how I keep becoming someone I always hoped I could be. If I’m lucky one day a very old face will look back at me from the mirror, a face I once shied away from. I will love that old woman ferociously, because she has finally figured out how to live a life of purpose—not in spite of but because of all her mistakes and failures.”

SHE’S EVERYWHERE!: Jann’s sitcom, Jann, a #1 hit on CTV, has been renewed and a new season will air in 2020. Jann continues to record and tour her music, launched the weekly Jann Arden Podcast in November 2019, and filmed a one-hour music special for CTV.
OLDER WOMEN ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH: Jann, who was the face on the cover of a recent Chatelaine devoted to the power of older women, is right on the money in a sea change in the way the culture treats older women. No one messes with Oprah, Elizabeth Warren or Michelle Obama, and no one messes with Jann. Women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s are thriving on their own and taking on the world with a confidence that is exhilarating.Marketing: US Plans:

“Storyteller. Counsellor. Life coach. Canadian singer Jann Arden wears all those hats—and more—in her latest memoir . . . If I Knew Then will strike vibrato chords with readers. Like her song lyrics, Arden’s phrasing is simple, authentic and rich. It resonates. She wears her wounds on her sleeve, and isn’t afraid to show her scars." —Winnipeg Free Press
Praise for Jann Arden:
“The type of free-spirited, brutally truthful woman who can stand toe to toe with any man or woman. Funny and not afraid to sprinkle an interview with helpings of words your mother would never allow in the house, Arden is two parts poet and one part your crazy aunt.” —The Toronto Sun
“[Jann Arden is] abundantly and humorously generous with herself in public. . . . No doubt Arden holds some secrets, some passions, some pain close to the vest, but, like the best gossip in the neighbourhood, she diverts our attention with titillating yarns.” —Toronto Star
