I completely enjoyed this memoir. Tina Knowles has had such an interesting life. She was vulnerable about herself and her experiences but didn't gossip about her kids. One of my favorite books of the year.

I bought my tickets to Beyonce, and also bought this to read with my niece in England. I'm a fan. I am born and raised in Houston; I live in 3rd Ward Houston. So, all the stuff she talks about in Houston, I know. It's funny, I saw a picture of her first house on Rosedale and I immediately said, "Oh I know that house."
Ms. Knowles is fascinating regardless of having Beyonce and Solange in her lives. She was strong. She stood toe to toe with racists. She asked questions. She left the nest to see what was out there. And I loved that her family accepted Johnny in a time period that was't usually accepting him. I miss those days where now it's a trend to hate the LGBTQ community. The book is longer for a memoir, but it was interesting and goes fast.
My only criticisms is that she was safe with some information, which I'm assuming she got permission like surrounding Blue Ivy''s birth. But other things like when the girls left Destiny's Child and Solange beating the shit out of Jay Z in an elevator while Beyonce watched were glossed over or not mentioned at all. Other reviewers are like there wasn't much in the way of surprises, but I didn't know how about her much. So, this book was must a door in to her world. I loved this book and recommend it, especially if you want to raise some strong women.

Beautiful story starting with their families history in slavery, segregation, and all the many sacrifices generations of Beyonce women made to get them to where they are today.
Celestine Ann Beyincé, WHAT A STORY! It was wonderful, inspiring, and all around amazing! She started by not only talking about her childhood, but giving us a HISTORY LESSON!
There's a lot to learn from her story, from how she was reared to how she raised her children. They are the mother’s that they are because of the mother that SHE IS, they just took the blueprint she gave and expanded on it!
She played such an important role in her daughters' careers despite the fact that she never received credit for half of what she accomplished!
She also revealed many stories about her family and how their experiences intersected with hers, all while respecting the privacy of the persons whose stories were told.
I believe that every woman can take something away from her story! If you like memoirs, DIS DA ONE!
