A Woman Like Me is a candid, offbeat, and gloriously unapologetic memoir by one of the greatest soul singers of all time. LaVette covers her unconventional childhood 鈥� complete with the illegal liquor business her parents ran from their home 鈥� as well as her career trajectory. This is narrative writing at its best. LaVette鈥檚 charismatic style of performance is consistent with her bold and engaging personality on the page; there鈥檚 never a dull moment here. (Note: There鈥檚 also a lot of sex throughout.)
