“Melissa Meszaros reflects the grunge era’s sense of tragic irony with honest hilarity, while she paints a vivid landscape from the loud awe and angst expressed by her love of rock and roll. This is a timely and defining narrative, much needed to begin to unravel the confusion in which we find ourselves today.” —Steve Moriarty, drummer & author of Mia Zapata & The Gits

“Weaving between New Mexico and the Pacific Northwest, Melissa confronts heartbreak after a devastating fire, finding solace in the music and D.I.Y. culture of the grunge era. It’s always the confessions, through song or story, that connect us with others, and eventually ourselves, and that helps us to heal.” —Gretta Harley, co-founder of Home Alive & co-creator of These Streets

“Movies and music. Romance and love. And when all else fails, more music. You’ll enter fully into this American landscape of how we move (literally) through loss and change into the next stage of who we are and want to be.” —Sharman Apt Russell, author of Standing in the Light: My Life as a Pantheist

“An absolutely brutal and honest look at what it is to be lost and find your way back. In a world of increasing isolation, Song Over The Bones is proof that everyone has their own battles to fight, but you aren’t alone in fighting them.” —Drew Zucker, artist and co-creator of Canto & The Feeding

“An achingly beautiful memoir crafted from the ashes, both literal and figurative. Meszaros’ preforms a postmortem of a doomed relationship and finds new life in the process.” —E.A. Henson, Biff Bam Pop

“Melissa guides us into the parts of our inner worlds that we seldom visit, confronts emotions we need to face, and explores the ideas we shy away from. Bask in her open-hearted prose and you'll get to know her like an old friend: her soul and her story laid bare for all to see. When you read her work it's likely that you'll get to know yourself more in the process, too. I did.” —Jak Hutchcraft, journalist and documentary filmmaker of Right Here, Right Now
