Krátky popis
A revealing personal life story like no other enlightening,
entertaining, surprising, empowering and a testament to the
world-making power of Black motherhood?You are Celestine,? she
said. She squatted to push the hair off my face and pull leaves off
my pajama legs. ?Like my sister and my grandmother.? And there,
under the pecan tree, as she did countless times, that day my
mother told me stories of the mothers and daughters that went
before me.Tina Knowles, the mother of iconic singer-songwriters
Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Solange Knowles, and bonus daughter Kelly
Rowland, is known the world over as a Matriarch with a capital M: a
determined, self-possessed, self-aware, and wise woman who raised
and inspired some of the great artists of our time.But this story
is about so much more than that.Matriarch begins with a precocious,
if unruly, little girl growing up in 1950s Galveston, the youngest
of seven. She is in love with her world, with extended family on
every other porch and the sounds of Motown and the lapping beach
always within earshot. But as the realities of race and the
limitations of girlhood set in, she begins to dream of a more
grandiose world.Her instincts and impulsive nature drive her far
beyond the shores of Texas to discover the life awaiting her on the
other side of childhood.That life's journey through grief and
tragedy, creative and romantic risks and turmoil, the nurturing of
superstar offspring and of her own special gifts is the remarkable
story she shares with readers here. This is a page-turning
chronicle of family love and heartbreak, of loss and perseverance,
and of the kind of creativity, audacity, and will it takes for a
girl from Galveston to change the world. It's one brilliant woman's
intimate and revealing story, and a multigenerational family saga
that carries within it the story of America and the wisdom that
women pass on to one another, mothers to daughters, across
generations.
