Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
the ironic title of the film version of tina turner's _i, tina_ (_what's love got to do with it_) is answered in this tale of self-love and inner strength. chronicaling turner rise to superstardom from her days as a cotton picker in tennessee to an internationally-renowned rock diva, _i, tina_ is even more compelling that the film version. featuring interviews with everybody from tina's mother to former ikettes to ike turner himself (i don't know how they pulled that off!), the book is a multifaceted look at turner's life. the national coalition against domestic violence says that a woman is battered by her husband or boyfriend, in this country, every fifteen seconds, making domestic violence america's most common, but least reported, crime. while tina's story is all too common to a number of women, it is also probably one of the most inspiring pieces of literature to deal with the subject of domestic violence. if a poor, black girl from nut bush, tennessee can find the inner strength to not only escape an abusive reltionship, but also take on the music industry by making a comeback and the unprecidented age of thirty-seven, what's to say we all couldn't. _i, tina_ will appeal to those who are not music fans, but it's an absolute must read for anyone who has been following her career.
