career capstone that will stir your soul with its

passionate reminder of what conservatism really means.”

—Senator Ben Sasse

actor, activist, and the iconic

face of New York City cool.

millions of albums worldwide

about her inner life. Through it all, she’s infused her

perennial Blondie persona with a heady mix of raw

sexuality and sophisticated punk cool. InFace It, Debbie

Harry invites us into the complexity of who she is and how

her life and career have played out over the last seven

decades.
