Julia:The Story of Julia Lennon "Mother, you had me... I never had you." These were words written by John Lennon in his deeply personal song 'Mother'.
The song wasn't so much sang, but screamed out for its recording on the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album. The screaming style he used for the song, and the carefully chosen lyrics, could be described as the behavior of an angry, rebellious teenager.
But why was he so angry? What compelled him to write something so personal, especially during a critical stage of his career? Who was 'Mother'? Why was Julia like this? Who was that person? Was she just a good time girl who enjoyed being in the company of men because of the attention they gave her, or did she equally have deep, unstable issues that caused her to act out quite wildly?
It is such hard work to portray the lives of other people, to everyone's satisfaction. The life of Julia has been portrayed by so many without research. The excellent book by Julia Baird "Imagine This" has been my inspiration for this book. This is the story of Julia Lennon told in a way that is supported with archive documentation like no other book, it is also bringing publishing into the 21st century with the use of QR Code technology promising you the reader a full interactive experience.
