Official synopsis Publisher
Twenty-one year old Nina writes lyrics and plays guitar in the rock band, Adam’s Rib, and she doesn’t always play by the rules. And, oh yeah–she has a way with the girls. Even her brother Nicky’s girlfriends think she’s hot. But the road to CBGBs in the East Village where Blondie and Joan Jett and the Indigo Girls stomped, sweated, and dreamed hasn’t always been easy. In fact, it was damn hard. There were plenty of roadblocks in her way–her own fears about being different, and the nuns, and the parents who didn’t get it, just to name a few. But then there was Kerry. Her more than best friend Kerry–who made it impossible for Nina not to be tough, not to be honest, not to stand by what she knew was right–not to be … Punk.
