Bread of Angels: A Memoir

"Bread of Angels is a sequel and a prequel to Just Kids, Patti Smith’s 2010 memoir that’s become a classic New York story. Bread of Angels feels more intimate. Here, Smith discusses her own sexuality and describes her first glimpse of her late husband, Fred “Sonic” Smith, at a party: “He stood by a white radiator in a blue overcoat. I noticed the threads where a button was missing. … He placed the button in my hand. … I felt a gravitational force; … I knew in that moment he was the one I would marry.”"
