凱莉．賽門（Carly Simon）是70和80年代風魔樂壇的創作歌手，曾奪得多項格林美獎、金球獎和學院獎，但不為人知的是，凱莉的父親是美國出版集團Simon & Schuster創辦人之一的理查．賽門（Richard Simon），在她的回憶錄中，將細述她在這書香世家的童年往事，以及家族秘密。
Simon's memoir reveals her remarkable life, beginning with her storied childhood as the third daughter of Richard L. Simon, the co-founder of publishing giant Simon & Schuster, her musical debut as half of The Simon Sisters performing folk songs with her sister Lucy in Greenwich Village, to a meteoric solo career that would result in 13 top 40 hits, including the #1 song "You're So Vain." She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award, for her song "Let the River Run" from the movie Working Girl.
The memoir recalls a childhood enriched by music and culture, but also one shrouded in secrets that would eventually tear her family apart. Simon brilliantly captures moments of creative inspiration, the sparks of songs, and the stories behind writing "Anticipation" and "We Have No Secrets" among many others. Romantic entanglements with some of the most famous men of the day fueled her confessional lyrics, as well as the unraveling of her storybook marriage to James Taylor.
BOYS IN THE TREES is a rhapsodic, beautifully composed memoir of a young woman’s coming of age amongst the glamorous literati and intelligentsia of Manhattan, a reflection on a life begun amidst secrets and shame, and a powerful story of the strength to leave that all behind and forge a path of art, music and love in the Golden Age of folk and rock.
At once an insider’s look into a life in the spotlight, a lyric reflection on a particular time in our culture’s history, and a beautiful memoir about the pains and joys of love and art soaring as Patti Smith’s JUST KIDS, and revelatory as Keith Richard’s LIFE, BOYS IN THE TREES is the story Carly Simon has long been waiting to tell the world.
