Description

Bones of Gold is a portrait in time of a woman far more complex than her “Keep it Simple” way of life suggests. Through memory and reflection, this biography by Melodie Yvonne is woven together from late-night stories, memories, journal entries, photographs, and tales from a life well lived. This biographical memoir traces Nel Hoon’s early struggles and her resilience as a mother, while also offering a snapshot of the life and roots that shaped her son, Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon, into the artist he became.

Nel’s story offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the glitz and glamour of the music industry, and takes an honest look at how quickly life can turn on a dime. Bones of Gold is a story of loss, survival, devotion, and the quiet strength behind a life often overlooked… where love and hardship are held together in the same breath, and legacy is carried on in both silence and song.

The hardcover edition is printed in premium color and includes additional photos not included in the paperback or digital editions.
