When I read this book not only did I read it from the perspective of being a fan, but I read it as a mother. The pride that Cissy had in hearing Whitney sing was very evident in the words of this book. It is easy to see how Cissy felt like her little girl had the voice of an angel. As people know Whitney was raised in the church and her singing roots range from Gospel to Soul and more. Cissy has been in the music business for many years and she was able to help Whitney train her natural given talent: her voice.
When it comes down to it I feel that Cissy was Whitney’s biggest fan. As a mother we all want our children to succeed and would give anything to take away the pain that happens in their life. Cissy was able to admit that while Whitney wasn’t perfect, she was her own person who had to account for the things that she did in her life.
This book lets you in to the life of Whitney from her childhood to stardom with the ups and downs until her passing. I won’t go into too many details about the book, but I recommend it to any Whitney fan. I will say that it is tragic that Whitney’s life was cut short, but regardless of what she did in her life that resulted in her early passing, her voice will always be legendary.
