It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams, that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.

This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.

Love,

Mariah

翻着书，听着MC给你读，还有清唱和acapella，享受顶顶级了~

相当大篇幅都在写牛姐的童年和家庭关系，牛姐真的太不容易了。

对于我这一代人来讲MC确实是diva的定义了，小时候在家把精选集听了无数遍，学着她《emotion》里唱海豚音，一到下雨就想起《through the rain》，听到《emancipation of mimi》这张专辑简直为她的回春太高兴了，不过对她的故事了解却并不多。这部自传里MC写了自己作为黑人白人混血的成长经历，崩坏的原生家庭，音乐事业的起步和发展，还有爱情生活，了解了天后的很真实的一面。不过很明显很多事情她还没有释怀没有放下，字里行间很多指责与怨恨，不禁让人怀疑如果这个故事由另一个当事者来讲述是什么样的。全书由MC自己录制，标志性嗓音，唱了很多经典曲目，即便是只读歌词也让你再次意识到她是个多么好的writer。

牛年第一天，刚好读完牛姐自传。在经历无数highs and lows后，最终你将发现：有个英雄躺在你里面。
