From teenage model to hard-partying rock chick,through motherhood,marriage breakdown and the challenge of starting over again in her fifties,Jo Wood has had a wild,roller-coaster ride of a life.
At the age of sixteen,Essex-born Jo was crowned the Sun's 'Face of 72' and became a fixture at London's most glamorous parties.Then,just 22 years old and a single mum,she met Ronnie Wood, guitarist with the Rolling Stones,and Jo's life changed forever.
Told with startling honesty and humour,'Hey Jo' gives you an access-all-areas pass behind the scenes of one of the biggest rock bands in history and vividly describes life on tour,in the studio and at their legendary three-day parties.In often hair-raising detail,Jo paints an astonishing picture of the drugs,booze,
groupies and,above all,fun that filled her 30 years as a member of the Stones' inner circle.
Jo opens up about her family life with Ronnie: their all-consuming love affair,her struggle to juggle the demands of being a mum by day and a rock chick by night,and Ronnie's increasingly difficult behaviour as he was taken over by his addictions.And for the first time she gives a heartbreaking account of what happened when Ronnie left her for an 18-year-old waitress.
After finding herself on her own for the first time since her teens,Jo had to rebuild her life and find a new identity as a single woman.But armed with the success of her organic beauty business and her passion for green issues,she threw herself into work,formed new friendships,
learned to cha-cha in front of millions and emerged stronger,happier and healthier than ever.
