Books Excerpt: Beth Ditto's new memoir 'Coal to Diamonds'

Ditto: Now in book form

Click here to read an except from the new memoir "Coal to Diamonds," by Judsonia girl-turned-international-superstar Beth Ditto, who is so famous everywhere but the U.S. at this point that she's made the leap from plain ol' rock star to Parisian graffiti icon.

As seen in the excerpt, Beth finally admits they had indoor plumbing in Judsonia when she was a kid (though she goes into great detail about their lack of a septic tank), but sticks firmly to her tales of wanton squirrel-devouring. You can buy the book here, or — better yet, order it through a fine local retailer like Wordsworth Books.
