Beautiful, Touching, Inspirational!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Most Beautiful?

Amir....he deserves to be remembered....bless his sweet little soul!

Have you listened to any of Mayte Garcia’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I would..she needs to narrate some more books...she was so natural.and she has a very pleasant voice!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Oh I hope she does get a film offer after this.she has a beautiful story all on her own!

Any additional comments?

WOW JUST WOW...As I sit here letting this story sink in, the tears are just streaming down my face..I have ugly cried, and straight up sobbed off and on during this whole wonderful story. What I love about a good memoir is it reads almost like fiction...and then you remember, Oh my this really happened! Mayte Garcia, you just made me a new fan for life!



Oh Goodness, I feel like I have so much to say...first off, if you are thinking this is a book about Prince's life, you are mistaken..although he is a huge part of this book...and as I write this, I am listening to Let's go crazy on my Prince station on Pandora...which is fairly new because Prince didn't like to share his music on open platforms...I respect that...I have owned his music in all different forms...From record...to tape..to cd...I became a fan when I was probably about 12yrs old...now being a 45yr old woman it hasn't changed...



That being said this truly is Mayte's story..and she is an amazing woman...I embrace her in my heart for telling these hard to tell truths, from her greatest accomplishments to her lowest tragic lows. I do believe Prince and her were soul mates...but life is not always perfect...and great tragedy can destroy a perfect relationship. They both did what it took for them to survive the loss of 2 babies..no one can judge them for this...You will never know the true pain of losing your child unless it has happened to you...and let me tell you this,.it is the most horrific thing you will ever experience..and you never truly recover..you just learn to go on..and it changes you forever!



Mayte has had an amazing career..that started when she was 3yrs old..by the age of 12...yes 12 she had almost 100 grand in her own personal checking account..she continued to work as a dancer doing personal gigs, and traveling with her family...and one day at a concert Prince discovered her...and a beautiful friendship started...they were pen pals, phone mates...she would go visit him and they would talk till the wee hours of the morning...laughing..everything was quite respectable...he would watch her dance tapes,,,he wrote her music, drew her pictures..it was truly an amazing courtship...she eventually became part of his show, and toured with him..and they fell deeply in love...he never even touched her until she was 20yrs old...he truly wooed her...I cant even imagine how cool that was...



They were married and started trying for a family right away..and were overjoyed with the news they were to be parents...that's when things started going a little downhill..she had a rough pregnancy and Prince being so private made it difficult at times for her to get some of the medical care and testing that she probably really needed...their little angel was born and lived for 6 days...they had to make a tough choice after doing all that was medically possible..and chose what they thought was best for Amir, I dont agree with how Prince let this be handled...Mayte deserved to be there when her baby boy left this world...I think that is something that will weigh on her forever...she did get pregnant again, but that pregnancy ended in miscarriage..this relationship just never healed.



Mayte tried..but Prince withdrew from her..and I wont go into detail here...but I do think she got a really raw deal...and this truly broke her heart...but this beautiful woman picked herself up, dusted herself off, and went on..She did eventually forgive Prince and they rekindled their friendship, for this she gets my mad love and respect...She went into acting and choreography..Dated Tommy Lee...that impresses me...they were good for each other and helped them both heal after failed marriages...and they too are still friends to this day..Mayte started a pet rescue called Mayte's Rescue,,,and while doing a long stint on the reality show Hollywood Exes, she expressed her desperate need to be a mother...and someone who was looking for a parent for her little girl saw it and it was fate...she got her Gia..oh how this made me cry..This baby was born on her birthday..how wondrous is that?And then it happened Prince died...and Mayte never got to introduce her little girl to him..she kept putting it off, busy with life...I think this will haunt Mayte for a long time also..



I really cant express how much I loved this book...and how much it has touched me very deeply, all I can say is listen to it...it is well narrated with so much raw emotion, and beautifully written..it is going in my ATF file..and I know I will listen to this again...Fave listen of 2017 so far...I just cant stop crying...but now its more happy tears than sad, because Mayte is AWESOME!!





HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! WELL WORTH YOUR TIME AND A CREDIT...WISH I COULD GIVE THIS A MILLION STARS!!!
