"40 år med Pretty Maids" af Jan Eriksen er den mere end 40-årige historie om heavybandet Pretty Maids. Det er de to grundlæggere af Pretty Maids, Ronnie Atkins og Ken Hammer, der tager os med bag om scenen. Jan Eriksen holder styr på tropperne og redigeringen. Ronnie og Ken tager os med helt tilbage til starten; til grundlæggelsen af Pretty Maids, til det danske gennembrud og senere tiltagene til gennembrud i Tyskland og Japan. De kommer omkring bandets op- og nedture gennem tiden, og omkring den sygdom, der har sat et foreløbigt punktum i karrieren, men som samtidig har hjulpet til at skue livet på en ny og anderledes måde. “40 år med Pretty Maids” tager os helt med ind under huden, helt ind til den ægte historie, de store drømme, de uundgåelige skænderier og den hverdag, der viser sig ikke at være så nem igen; bagsiden af medaljen. I “40 år med Pretty Maids” samler Jan Eriksen så fint alle Ronnie og Kens tråde i en yderst interessant fortælling for alle, der er den mindste smule musikinteresserede.

Peter Sommer er ven med  Bo Ark, og Marianne Verge er forelsket i Peter Sommer. Titelpersonerne er forbundet af deres opvækst i Skanderborg og deler i ungdommen en drøm om at bryde igennem til det jeg, de endnu kun aner omridset af, og debutere som digter, rockstjerne og forfatter. Mange år senere er den ene død, og de to andre har giftet sig. Bogen er en registrering af de spor, vi efterlader i hinanden, en beskrivelse af et arbejdsliv med sangskrivning og bøger og en tresporshistorie om ung forelskelse og voksen kærlighed, hvor forfatteren suverænt ”væver med klippede tråde af dagbøger, optagelser, fiktion og erindring”.
