In this revealing and poignant account of the life of her son, reggae icon Bob Marley (1945-1980), Mother Cedella Marley Booker traces the unique history of Bob Marley and his contribution to popular music as only a parent could. Booker recalls her poor rural upbringing in the district of Nine Miles in Jamaica, her parents' relationship, and her courtship with Captain Marley, the white man forty years her senior who turned up one day in her father's fields and took Cedella to his bed when she was just sixteen. Their child was Bob Marley, who would introduce the world to reggae, and whose talent would later transform the course of popular music with such classics as "Get Up, Stand Up," "Buffalo Soldier," "No Woman, No Cry," Stir It Up," and "One Love." With admirable candor, Booker shares her struggles in raising Bob on her family's farm in St. Ann's and the crime-riddled streets of Kingston, and her courageous move to start a new life in the United States. Bob stayed behind in Jamaica to perfect his music, though the two remained close as he began his transformation into reggae superstar and cultural prophet. Booker details Marley's embrace of Rastafarianism, the women in his life, his use of ganja, and his last months when Cedella nursed him until he succumbed to cancer. This book is a true look at Marley's life--not just as a cultural icon, but as a son.… (més)

interesting history into the life of a Man who graced our land with so much powerfully uplifting music. I like reggae music. we knew the music now we know that man behind the music. Most great music tells the story of hardship and struggle. LONG LIVE BOB MARLEY!

I love reggae and I grew up listening to Bob Marley. This biography sheds a lot of light on his upbringing and life and death. Sad story but also inspiring.

I think this provides good background information and context for learning about Bob Marley, but it's not the right book to read if you want to know more about his life. A few of my students were disappointed with it, as they wanted to know more about the man himself...his childhood, his life, his career, etc. ( )

This is also a belated Early Reviewer review. I am having some trouble with migraines but it's calmed down now. I enjoyed reading Miss Cedella's biography as well, but I must admit I expected to see more of Bob than just his death. It could also use to be chronological. It mistakes the most sense in a biography. All in all, a decent read. ( )

Easy to read, but as others have commented, this book is more the author's biography rather than that of Bob Marley. The writing is poor as she goes back and forth over events, they don't flow from one thing to the next. ( )
