University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history's most compelling figures, Chiquis Rivera. Chiquis Rivera is quickly becoming the most successful American television star-recording artist-author-entrepreneur-philanthropist of the 21st century. She has already charmed audiences on reality shows, watched her first single become an instant #1 hit, won a Latin Grammy award, witnessed her most recent album win the "Banda Record of the Year" award, and written a powerful New York Times best-selling memoir. On the surface, it might appear that Chiquis has lived a charmed life. After all, her mother was the global superstar and best-selling Latin musical artist, Jenni Rivera. But just beneath the surface there exists a dark history - grievous trauma, unspeakable abuse, and heart-rending loss. In October 2012, Chiquis and Jenni immediately stopped speaking. Two months later, Jenni died in a plane crash. Words left unspoken. A fractured relationship frozen in time. And for the young Rivera, a profound grief. Chiquis Rivera's life is a bitter-sweet story of profound hurt, forgiveness, and triumph. This short book tells the intensely human story of an inspiring woman who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
