Why read it?
1 author picked The Woman in Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It starts out as an insightful memoir of a small-town girl from Louisiana's rise to superstardom. It then becomes tale of astonishing family/legal abuse -- a real-life horror story. And it finally becomes a story of resilience and escape.
On every page, Britney's words turn her from a symbol (which is something that I realized that I, too, saw her as when I started reading) into a complex human being.
By the end, it's hard not to love her, root for her, and be enraged on her behalf. It's a remarkable book.
