"I really enjoyed reading about Rita's perspective of her marriage to Bob Marley and how she still loved him even though he cheated on her many times over the years they were married."
"A beautifu, heartbreaking story of Bob Marley's inspiration, his rock, his wife, Rita Marley. Her story is profoundly inspirational, and while it paints Bob in a light that is less than heroic, it is Rita's faithfulness that is the heart of this story. She held her family together against what seems like impossible odds, and her strength amidst heartbreak is what makes this book one of the best books I've ever read."
"What begins as a mind-boggling, historical eye-witness account of life in 1950s and 1960s Trenchtown, Jamaica, ends as a self-promotion for this pioneering woman, who stood by her man while he famously stood by as many women as possible. It's mixed -- lots of chills, gasps to start, maybe even a tear or two; to finish, some eye-rolling, skimming and groans -- but for lovers of music, Bob and/or Jamaica, it's a quick read!"
