(3) YA This sturdy biography covers the rock legend's life, from her misfit middle-class adolescence in Port Arthur, Texas, to her death by overdose. Along the way, it attempts to set the record straight about her sexuality, vices, and chronic need for validation. Angel reliably provides the social contexts against which Joplin rose and fell. A copious number of black-and-white photos illustrate events. Timeline. Bib., ind.
