The true story of the woman John Lennon loved. Includes the work and music they made together, the love story of John & Yoko, and her relationship with the Beatles.
Ono’s incredible story goes way beyond what most people know.
There are astounding details about Yoko’s life (thirty-three years before meeting Lennon, twelve years with him, and over forty years of creativity since his death).
The author has followed Ono’s career since the mid-1960s, assembling a vast media archive on the artist. Yoko’s own voice, along with Lennon’s and others (in cited, published interviews) tell her undeniably true and complete story, disproving many myths. Bocaro has spent valuable time with Ono, gaining incredible insight.
Here is the ultimate exploration of Yoko’s childhood, her relationship with Lennon, her art, films, music and activism for peace and women’s rights.
Thanks for your comment. My diminishing health at soon to be 83 years old puts the pressure on me for a new home for my collection that can be shared by all. Your help to do this would be appreciated.
All the best,

Good day Madeline from New Orleans. I can’t wait to read your new book on Yoko. I’ve been a lifelong fan of John & Yoko. My collection I have built over the years recreates John’s statement of “The First Time I Met Her.” Please see the Imagine Collection on my website. The entire collection is looking for a new home so it can be enjoyed by the masses forever.
Good luck with the book!
Thank you very much,
David B. Kaufman,
Hi David, hope you don’t mind, but I removed your phone number as it isn’t wise to share numbers online – don’t want anyone ringing you who shouldn’t!

David, while sitting at lunch in London with Ray Connolly and his wife July 31, Ray had some choice words about Yoko Ono. Basically, he called her a narcissist and an opportunist who was more interested in money and fame than her husband and their art. I tend to believe Ray based on what I remember about the 1967-68 emergence of Yoko in the media. I’ve read the books of Cynthia Lennon, Julia Baird, Geoff Emerick, Tony Bramwell, Robert Rosen ( Nowhere Man), Lesley-Ann Jones, and of course, Ray Coleman– none of whom thought highly of Yoko. Even Lesley-Ann Jones who was purportedly a personal friend of Yoko, considered Yoko especially self-serving and self-absorbed. It’s lovely she donated money to your school, and I saw the fruits of her Liverpool University donations, but that doesn’t negate her treatment of Julian Lennon, John’s half-sisters and other relatives and friends. I hope Madeline Bocaro’s book is a well-rounded examination of Yoko rather than a testimonial to her imagined greatness.
