"A lovingly documented biography of music superstar Selena Quintanilla's life, work, and musical legacy. Selena Quintanilla was a vibrant musical performer, wildly popular in the growing field of Tejano music. But her rising star suddenly fell when she was murdered at the age of 23. At the time of her death, Selena was poised to break into the mainstream music scene. But as she enjoyed professional success beyond her wildest dreams, her personal life had more than its share of troubles. There was family tension surrounding her marriage to guitarist Chris Perez, and mounting pressure between her and the manager of her fashion boutiques, Yolanda Saldivar. Bestselling author Jo Nick Patoski recounts both the ups and downs of Selena's life, as well as her stunning transformation into a sensual Latina superstar. Most of all, he pays tribute to the life of this one-of-a-kind talent and a young life cut short by murder, but one that will never be forgotten." -- Provided by publisher. -- Some violence. Spanish language.
