Publisher Description
Chris Perez tells the story of his relationship with music superstar Selena in this heartfelt tribute.
One of the most compelling and adored superstars in Latin music history, Selena was nothing short of a phenomenon who shared all of herself with her millions of devoted fans. Her tragic murder, at the young age of twenty-three, stripped the world of her talent and boundless potential, her tightly knit family of their beloved angel, and her husband, Chris Perez, of the greatest love he had ever known.
For over a decade, Chris held on to the only personal thing he had left from his late wife: the touching and sometimes painful memories of their very private bond. Now, for the first time, Chris opens up about their unbreakable friendship, forbidden relationship, and blossoming marriage, which were cut short by Selena’s unforgivable death.
Chris’s powerful story gives a rare glimpse into Selena’s sincerity and vulnerability when falling in love, strength and conviction when fighting for that love, and absolute resilience when finding peace and normalcy with her family’s acceptance of the only man she called her husband. While showcasing a side of Selena that has never been disclosed before and clarifying certain misconceptions about her life and death, To Selena, with Love is an everlasting love story that immortalizes the heart and soul of an extraordinary, unforgettable, and irreplaceable icon.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Celebrate the beloved Tejano pop star Selena with one of the people who knew her best. When Selena was murdered in 1995 at the young age of 23, she left behind legions of devoted fans—and an adoring husband. In this heartfelt memoir, her widower, Chris Perez, shares his intimate recollections of the woman behind the fame. He reflects on the details of their initial friendship (which bloomed when he was playing lead guitar in her backing band, Los Dinos) and tells us how they fell in love. We got goosebumps reading about the couple’s blossoming romance, which led them to elope—much to the dismay of Selena’s fiercely overprotective father. Perez gives us a vision of Selena like we’ve never seen before, as a playful and sometimes impulsive young woman who loved dogs and fast cars and had the spirit to stand up to her family for the man she loved. To Selena with Love gives fans an incredible gift: more of the talented woman they adore.
