Lily’s book speaks to anyone who’s felt that insurmountable amount of family and societal pressure to conform to a more or less straight jacketed kind of behaviour. Whereas whatever you say or do is scrutinized, judged, and, ultimately, condemned. And all the money and economic status in the world doesn’t protect you from the unrelenting pressure to conform to the extent where you lose all sense of yourself. Indeed, the wonderful part of reading Lily’s book is the reminder that, regardless of how oppressed you may feel, that you are not alone in what can feel like such a cold and dismissive world."

Lily Frost’s fictional memoir of growing up female in the last part of the last century will be highly relatable for many women. It’s a journey of detaching from outmoded institutions and expectations, judgments and shame, all the while slowly learning to breathe, be seen as the radiant creative she is, and use her voice. In so many ways, it’s our story.

Lily Frost’s The Ballad of Lunar Star is a feminist tour de force that spins a poet’s birth into a Canadian bilingual cross-genresinger-songwriter, mother and a healer. With her signature dark Hollywood glamour style and poeticflair, Frost explores complex family histories, body image issues, complicated romances, and her dizzying foray into the patriarchal underbelly of the 90s music industry. In her mythic memoir, The Ballad of Lunar Star, Frost alchemizes her struggle and awakens to ancestral knowledge, personal rituals, and portrays a woman who honours herself. Through The Ballad of Lunar Star, Frost reclaims her divine femininity, creates her coven, and conveys how she crossed the threshold from Canadian chanteuse into the realms of witchery.
