Many Moons: A Songwriter's Memoir

Release Date October 27th, 2019
"Best books of the season 2019" by Canadian Living

I can almost always trace an important event in my life back to writing a song, and I wanted to share these tales with my followers and friends. Whether the event inspired a song or was inspired by a song, it's always fun to connect the dots.

In engaging prose as smooth and colourful as her Juno-nominated melodies, Dayna Manning’s memoir provides a window into the world of her songwriting. In Many Moons, Manning depicts her close encounters with Canadian legends such as Burton Cummings, Chris Hadfield, and William Lishman, providing readers with an intimate view of a musician's life and up-close encounters with some of Canada’s greatest personalities. Manning’s charming debut memoir is a fascinating read, spanning Canada itself as well as a three-decade career in an ever-changing music business.
