Her life and story told in her words. Britney Spears has had an expansive career and her face has been splattered on many covers of magazines accompanied by stories that photos and showed whatever it took to make those people rich. They were never telling her story.
Britney tells the story of her life with raw honesty. She speaks of happiness, joy, sadness, trauma, love, rejection, rumors, heartache, and being used by so many people around her. People who should have loved, protected, and guided her. Her early days when she truly felt joy in the music and dance. How that became an escape for her. She talks about her love life, setting records straight. There is no finger-pointing or blame. Just the truth about who she loved, how she loved, and her dreams for life.
She talks about her boys. In a way that all mothers can relate to. Her desperation to just be able to see them, to be able to be with them. How they were used as a weapon. Used to get her to perform. Her experiences with the paparazzi how relentless and cruel they were. As a mother, I can't imagine what I would have done. Especially with newborns and having PPD. How far would we go as mothers to protect our children?
She speaks about the conservatorship. She shares the horrible things her father put her through. The fear. She asks over and over again. Why am I under this conservatorship, yet I am still working. Making money, supporting people. Why was she? A woman who wasn't able to make the simplest of choices for herself, for her body.
This memoir is a quick read. It isn't Hollywood gossip. It is a story of a woman who is moving on in her faith, a survivor. It is a book about sexism, betrayal, injustice, and mental health. A broken system. Survival.
I pray she finds the peace that she truly seeks.
I pray she finds the peace that she truly seeks.
