FIRE!
This was so fulfilling and an informative read for me! Some happy moments, many sad moments, but a clear testament of triumph and the power of moving forward! In this memoir, Ruth is very open and I feel lucky to have taken a look into her life and times with her sisters. She shares many secrets and situations others would take to the grave or at least wouldn't share with the general public. I have gained a love for The Pointer Sisters and hope to see them depicted on the big screen some day! Such an amazing read!

Great inside look and ride of the best girl group to ever do it!
Amazing Read
What a story. Ruth Pointer is so very honest, bravely honest. In an age where many celebrity bios are glamorized, sanitized, and distorted, Pointer simply tells the true story of her life. And what a life it is. Long live Ruthie!
