She's a has been who never was, on her way to becoming something else. Leslie Alexander quit the music biz, became a nurse, quit the health biz, and got married. Now she's learning and writing about life in the North Woods.

“Simply put, this woman can write! Powerful . . . the playing on Nobody’s Baby nearly matches the excellence of her words . . . sublime . . . genre bending, intelligently written, & well performed."
