As much as I love her music, I believe she should have stuck with her original intent of not writing her memoirs......
YAWN.... The first 2 pages are just the same words over & over & over again........ and it was Bor-ring!
She grew up in Jamaica, a poor but very religious family.... Raised by her Grandmother & her grandmother's much younger (abusive) husband with her brothers & sisters, while her parents moved to America for work.

Her tone was light and positive, but repetitive......
She gained fame as a model and moved into music & films (most notably 007)..... Spent a lot of time in N.Y. @ Studio 54 w/ all the elite and partied hardy.....… (meer)
