Customer Reviews

A riveting tale of maternal love and personal evolvement.

Ms. Kitt takes us on a poignant and moving journey through her life. She holds no punches as she shares the her humble beginnings and her serendipitous rise and later fall and then majestic rise again in her celebrated life. Her descriptions of places and incidents allow the reader to feel and become a part of her world. She offers us the true meaning of love when she describes her life encounter with her daughter and entrusts us with her non-traditional formula for raising a happy,loving and independent child. Occasionally, her truths are so raw and heartfelt they bring tears to the readers eyes, but her later triumphs make our hearts soar with pride and love. Ms. Kitt is a truly phenomenal woman and one can only hope that she picks up her pen one more time and shares with us what life has been like for her in the newest chapter of her life. A GREAT MUST READ! :)

Astoundingly memorable!

It's heartwarming yet dishearting to know someones life could be so devastingly dreadful and turn out so spectacular. Eartha Kitt survived and endured despite obstacles concerning her uniqueness and exoticness. Her accounts and descriptions from childhood to present day are so real-like that you feel as if you were actually there with her as she experienced each triumph and fall. Recommended for every actor/actress and any person who has doubts about succeeding and advancing in this life.
