A very candid look at the life of Disco queen, Donna Summer. Very sensitively and well written, and with lots of previously unseen photos too. I came out of reading this book with a deeper love and respect for this class act. If you're looking for dirt being dished, this isn't the book for you. What you get is almost an adventure along the journey of this extra ordinary woman's life. Highly reccommended!
