"Behind the Blues" is a reminder of what shaped the author. It guides readers through the various stages of her life: the Awakening, where she found solace and strength in words; the Wildness, where she fell into the frenzy of love; the Downfall, the night that never ended. It continues with the Questioning, an eternal search for oneself, and concludes with the Surrender, where she submits to the alternating waves of despair and joy.
