The critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, producer, and five-time Grammy winner opens up about a life shaped by music in this candid, heartfelt, and intimate story.
Brandi Carlileis a six-time Grammy Award-winning singer,
songwriter, performer, and producer. Since her debut in 2004, she
has released six studio albums and was the most nominated female
artist at the 2019 Grammy Awards, with six nominations, including
Album, Record, and Song of the Year.
Founded in 2008 by Carlile, the Looking Out Foundation amplifies
the impact of music by empowering those without a voice, with
campaigns focused on children living in war zones, prevention and
reduction in incarceration and recidivism, racial justice, violence
prevention, food insecurity, and more. To date, the foundation has
raised over $2 million for grassroots causes.
Beloved by fans, peers, and critics alike, Carlile and her band
have performed sold-out concerts across the world. Brandi Carlile
lives in rural Washington State on a compound with her bandmates
and their families, as well as her wife, Catherine, and their two
daughters, Evangeline and Elijah.
“A vulnerable document . . . The resilience of her sense of self,
through poverty and fame, is transcendent. One of her great
strengths as an artist is a willingness to stare herself straight
in the face and not flinch.”—Amanda Hess, The New York
Times
“[Carlile is] perceptive, vulnerable, humble, funny and above
all else, a good storyteller. She’d already proven her storytelling
chops as a lyricist and she proves them once again in these pages.
She knows how to use a few words to make a big impact. . . .
Readers walk away feeling like they know the
real Carlile.”—Associated Press
“Intimate . . . Carlile's story is too big to fit in a song. .
. . The memoir covers it all with conversational ease. . . . This
pulls the veil back in a way [Carlile] hadn’t done
before.”—Vulture
“I thought I knew Brandi through her music and friendship, but I
didn’t truly know her until I finished the last page of Broken
Horses. I don’t think I truly knew myself until I finished the last
page of Broken Horses. I read much of it with my palms sweating,
heart swelling, tears falling. This book is a gift from Brandi’s
soul to the reader’s. Broken Horses will go down as one of the
great memoirs of our time.”—Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed
“I fell in love with Brandi’s voice, and then serendipity took over
and I fell in love with the artist, the writer, and the woman. I
believe we were fated to be true soul mates. Reading this book
confirms my love and respect for her. If anyone ever has a doubt in
their mind that the wildest of dreams can be realized from
complicated circumstances, they should read Brandi’s story. It is
about perseverance, humor, forgiveness, and manifestation. I
absolutely loved it.”—Elton John, author of Me
“A good storyteller tells you about their life. A great storyteller
guides you so deep into their heart that you actually end up seeing
yourself. Brandi is one of the most gifted and generous
storytellers of our time. Broken Horses led me right into Brandi’s
heart, and my own.”—Brené Brown, author of Daring Greatly
“An intimate, life-affirming look at a musician whose artistic
journey is far from over.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
