My Love Story by Tina Turner

5.0

There are certain celebrities that people feel a kinship to and Tina Turner is one of those for me. I love her sense of style, the way she expresses herself in interviews (that voice!) and her life philosophy. She has also opened my mind to Buddhism, chanting and spiritual issues. Of course, I loved this book. Written in a flowing, conversational style, it is like she is in the room talking to you. I had read her biography "I, Tina" that was published in 1986 and this book also covers her years with Ike Turner. She also talks about her difficult relationship with her mother, her children and her husband Erwin Bach. The book is filled with great stories about her career and nice anecdotes about Cher, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Rod Stewart and more big names that she shared the stage with. The later chapters deal with the life threatening health problems she has experienced during the previous years. She concludes with brief chapters about the musical about her life and the suicide of her son Craig.
