I first met Ianthe when she had gone back to her birth name of Dolores and married my manager Eddie Tickner. I was immediately impressed by this beautiful woman with her serene presence, and we have remained friends over the years. Underneath that calm exterior tho', lay a tensile strength revealed here as she bears witness to her heady days with the Byrds, the emerging L.A. rock scene of the 60s, to gender and racial bias, and a tumultuous marriage to Roger McGuinn that would end with her raising their two sons alone. In the Wings is the story of a true survivor, told with a keen eye and ultimately, a compassionate heart: -- Emmylou Harris

Dolores (Ianthe) was there at the birth of the Byrds and experienced life as a wife during those triumphant and tempestuous years. Her story is more than a rock memoir, embracing a Mexican-American upbringing at a time of immense social change. Her reinvention as a working mother in the aftermath of the Sixties' party is a poignant story of perseverance and survival.: Johnny Rogan, author of Byrds: Requiem For The Timeless, Volumes 1 & 2.

In the Wings is a compelling tale of a woman's struggle to maintain a marriage with a celebrity rock 'n' roll band leader who becomes wasted on the way, and her ultimate redemption raising two children as a single mother amidst the conflicts of Sixties excess. I followed Ianthe's story with enthusiasm. Her victory was my hope with every turn of the page. Inspirational.: Jesse Lee Kincaid Rising Sons
