I was a casual listener to her music and not so much a fan (however, I am a fan of Santana and Latin jazz), but the memoir opened my eyes to a lot I didn't know about her career from beginning to present. I delved into reading more about her and other people in her life by watching videos, movies and personal interviews, with a new viewpoint.
The memoir into the life of Sheila Escovedo was an interesting read from her grueling tour schedules to her interactions with other famous icons. Her rape and molestation at a young age was sad and very uncomfortable to read, but her ability to push forward and ultimately reveal her devastating secret.
I felt that Sheila E. spoke from her heart on her relationships with Carlos Santana and Prince. I would have liked to have had her reveal more on the relations between Lionel and Brenda Richie and it's impact on the adoption of her niece Nicole Escovedo to the Richie's, but I can respect her demand for privacy in that regard.
Sheila Escovedo wrote with honesty and compassion...Great Book!… (mer)
