    "Aching To Be" pulls no punches as it tells the story of Joyce Raskin's life as a woman in rock and roll, from her struggles to learn the bass at age 13 to reaching the heights of indie success with her band Scarce. Tragically, the magic of Scarce was ravaged by band member Chick Graning's sudden illness. Joyce chronicles Chick's journey back to the world, and how the band coped. After a long hiatus Scarce is now playing and recording together again.

    If you ever played in a band, if you ever dreamed of playing, if you ever were a girl in an all-boy situation, this book is for you.
