Matriarch: A Memoir by Tina Knowles
4.0

 This was a beautiful book. I really appreciate how she never lost the plot because although her daughter is who she is, that didn't overshadow the story that was intended. This is a book about Tina from start to finish. You can't walk away from this without feeling respect and admiration for her. She is so down to earth and I love how the book really normalized her. She has the same thoughts, insecurities, struggles, goals and doubts that we all have. Her friends are like our friends and her family is like our family. I didn't know much, if anything about her and I'm glad I got to know her in this way.
