How did Lin-Manuel Miranda become the preeminent musical storyteller of the 21st century?Daniel Pollack-Pelzner traces Miranda's path from a friendly but often isolated child to the winner of multiple Tonys and Grammys for his Broadway hits Hamilton and In the Heights and his songs in Disney's Moana and Encanto.

Drawing on interviews with Miranda's family, friends and mentors - and many conversations with Miranda himself - Pollack-Pelzner delves into the formative experiences that shaped Miranda as an artist, from his early musicals in high school and college to the creation of his Broadway and Hollywood triumphs. With full access to Miranda's inner circle, this behind-the-scenes origin story is both captivating and inspiring.
