The Most Beautiful: My Life with Prince
Mayte Garcia met Prince as a teenage dancer and became his collaborator, muse, and first wife. In this memoir she writes about their unusual courtship, their wedding, and the years they spent making music and a life together. She also writes, with painful honesty, about the death of their newborn son and the grief that followed, which strained and eventually ended their marriage. The book offers a close, personal view of one of pop's most guarded figures, told by the person who knew him in private. Questlove named it among his favorite books.
