Interesting book about an interesting woman.
I didn't know much about Celine Dion prior to reading, other then I liked some of her songs and that my mom is a big fan, but I had the opportunity to get the book for free and I was curious. And I'm glad I did.
Granted it's a bit dates (circa 2003) but it still has Celine's early life, her marriage, her first child. It has all the information about how she got started, about her family. Love the letters, pictures, postcards, and all the little tidbits bits in the book. I know there are piles upon piles of information that anyone can rummage through to get the "good" pictures or the "good" keepsakes, so this task is almost impossible, but I appreciate their approach. A well organized, attractive, thoughtful book about Celine with little keepsakes too.
Loved it!
