Her Name Was Dolores

The Jenn I Knew

De: Pete Salgado, Gabriel Vázquez Aguayo

Narrado por: Bob Borquez, Yareli Arizmendi

The untold story of the iconic Jenni Rivera through the perspective of her former managers, Pete Salgado and Gabriel Vazquez and it will be the basis for a TV series that will air on Univision. This book will take us into the boiler room and offer a behind-the-scenes look into the strategies and moments that lead to national headlines. Pete Salgado was Jenn’s longstanding manager, considered by Jenn her fifth bother, he worked with her for nearly a decade, and helped negotiate many of her deals. She shared things with him she did not with others, and he came to know her in ways no one else did. The months before Jenni’s death were filled with betrayals and disappointments from those she most loved and trusted. Salgado addresses that and takes readers deep inside some cryptic tweets Jenni posted as well of answering very difficult questions such as: Did Chiquis have an affair with Jenni’s husband, Esteban? Who really was the person Jenni called El Pelón and tweeted about, and what did he mean to her? Was Jenni embroiled with the drug cartel? Did the notorious narco El Barbie mistreat her? Was she going to buy a plane? Was Jenni’s death truly an accident? This book describes everything that went into that final moment, and for the first time, truly depict the beauty, love, complexity, and pain of Jenni’s relationship with Chiquis – which was much different and went much deeper than a traditional mother-daughter relationship. Salgado shares who Dolores really was that her fans did not know and did not see on stage… Salgado and Vasquez give listeners a better perspective of the life of the “Diva de la banda” from the two people most deeply involved in helping build her career, and who knew her in ways that no one else did.

Wow!

Jenni was a beautiful person inside and out. Glad I heard/read this book. Thanks

AMAZING

I enjoyed reading a raw point of view of her life. it was informative

The truth revealed finally!

Thank you Mr Pete Salgado for finally telling us the true Jenni Rivera fans the truth. The stories her family spun never seemed quite right. Viva la Gran Señora!

Get to meet the real Jenni as a person!

Meet Dolores as the woman she was, not Jenni as the singer or Jenni the Riveras want to portrait her. but Jenni Dolores as who she really was as person! it also answers some of the questions/doubts/speculations that surrounds Jenni. I highly recommend it!!

Breathtaking Story

I have always wondered the true story behind the career of this amazing woman. This book is so genuine, raw, intense, passionate, powerful and astonishing. Of all the books that have been written about Jenni Rivera. This is the one I was looking forward too reading.

Anyone that reads this book will see the writer wrote it with admiration, love, and respect. I personally appreciate Pete for writing and sharing his truth.

As a fan this book was an eye opener and my level of admiration has grown for this woman and her entire work family. We the fans made her a success, but her work family (staff) were the foundation of her career. After reading this book you will achieve a realization and understanding that their hard work and dedication as a united working family is what achieved Jenni's triumph.

Beautifully Written! 🦋 Loved it!

Thank you!! She was and still is such an inspirational & Amazing Human Being/Woman!

May She Rest in Peace and Her Legacy Live On Forever! ❤️🙏🏽❤️
