review 1: If you remember the Miss America scandal that surrounded Vanessa Williams, and you are curious as to what was going though her mind and life at the time - then this book will be a good read for you. The book starts with that story, but goes into her childhood-to-young woman period to explain her behavior and mindset that led up to her being asked to relinquish her crown. After that, she explains her rise to fame as a singer-actress-broadway star. Alongside of Vanessa's viewpoint of events in her life is her mother's viewpoint - two sides of one life story, so to speak.
review 2: This is an interesting story. I didn't know much about Vanessa Williams except she was a character on Desperate Housewives and the Miss America debacle several years ago. She tells it a... morell I think and some of her life is messy. Her mother also wrote part of the book and I liked getting her views on raising children and how she handled some of the things Vanessa did. She seemed very devoted to her family and I think she must be pretty down to earth and very ambitious. All in all I enjoyed reading about her life and family. less
