Amanda didn't want a Real Job.
So she put on a wedding dress, she painted her face white and climbed onto a plastic crate. And she made her living as a living statue.
To people who gave her something loose, she offered a flower.
"Thank you," she said with her eyes, "here, for you."
But some people simply didn't want the flower.
Amanda didn't understand.
"It's a gift! she thought, take the flower! ».
Years later, rock star Amanda Palmer discovers that her accounts don't add up. She needs a loan, and fast. Her husband, the Famous Fantasy and Science Fiction Writer, is more than willing to help her.
But Amanda is simply unable to accept her help.

This is a story about asking, giving, art and love. A testimony of the struggle of 21st century artists to survive in a world dominated by the internet, piracy, social networks and market studies. And it is, above all, a manifesto in favor of breaking the limits that our own fears impose on us.

Prologue by Brené Brown and translation by Guillem Usandizaga.
