For the first time, legendary singer and songwriter and Grammy Hall-of-Famer Aaron Neville tells his personal story of overcoming poverty, racism, addiction, and loss through faith, family, and music.
Written in a stream-of-consciousness style, the book spotlights Neville’s voice, loud and clear ... A gratifying, spiritual, and hopeful against-all-odds memoir.
He recounts battles with addiction, poverty, racism, and loss, and how he was able to draw on the gifts of faith, music, and family as creative and spiritual tools to defeat the darkness that threatened his very existence.
An edit could have trimmed some repetition from his narrative, and some of the lyrics and musician credits go on too long, but the author’s life has been an inspiration.
