My Love Story: A Memoir by Tina Turner

emotional inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Tina Turner My Love Story gave me insights into Mrs. Turner that  I did not know.  I think most people think they know all they need to based off What’s Love Got to Do With It movie, but there is so much more.  Not to mention, just like she stated, her life has been without Ike longer than when he was in it.  So I am happy she has taken control of her life and living it on her own terms.  Who wouldn’t want that.  Story was honest, specific, and inspiring.  I love how she embraces aging (although she herself even admits that is only as good as your looks and health hold up) and love.  I did find a bit of a contradiction in that she states she is not a diva, but I clearly get deva vibes.  She is an expensive label junky and high end furnishings.  However, a lady knows what she wants and has the dollars for it.  Lovely lady and I appreciate her telling her story. Very inspirational.  RIP Tina Turner, aka Anna Mae Bullock.  May you continue rock n roll in eternity
