Jenni Rivera was the top-selling artist within the Regional Mexican music genre. With a weekly radio show, her own reality show, a makeup and clothing line, and her own foundation, she was at the height of her career and life. Everything she had conquered, with blood, sweat, tears, and smiles, happened, as she said, with God leading her by the hand. However, her life, her dreams, and the joy she shared with so many came to a tragic end just before dawn on December 9, 2012.

In Jenni Rivera: The Incredible Story of a Warrior Butterfly, Leila Cobo - pianist, TV host, and executive director for Latino content and programming at Billboard - brings us Jenni Rivera’s intimate and moving biography, reflecting on the party girl, the elegant woman, the great diva, the friend, the mother, and the grandmother. Discover the humble beginnings of Jenni’s life and career, as well as the emotional and sometimes turbulent moments that defined her persona and spirit. Like a candle blown out before her time, we not only lost the “Unforgettable One”, the “Queen of Queens”, the “Warrior Butterfly”, we also lost a brave woman who fearlessly faced life’s ups and downs to attain the happiness she so fervently wanted for herself and her family. With Jenni’s departure, we celebrate a shining legacy that will forever reverberate within every note of her voice.

I love Jenny 😘

I absolutely loved it. Jenny was absolutely a caterpillar who turned into being a beautiful strong butterfly.

An Honest Powerful and Emotional Journey

I feel like her manager gave us fans a true and honest story of what her life was like behind the scenes. This book brought laughter and sadness, I love this book. It sadness me the way her management was treated at the end.

great book. well developed story

this is jennys life well summarized. its not sbout the writter but about jenni.

Bilingual narrator needed

The story had a lot of insight. The only negative things I can say is the narrator failed to translate some words and there meanings to English.

Very amazed!

There is a lot of detail given of her life in this book. It's worth minute of your time.

She is truly the Mexican American pride

She is family! I love her and met her before fame and after fame she never forgot me! we are family!

IfU Don't know herThisBook explains her beginning

I liked the book but I though this book was unbreakable so I returned it. It gave me more insight of her life since I don't follow news or watched her cable episodes.

Sounded like a book report. Boring!

Waste of a credit. Boring, terrible Spanish and the attempt at a story was overshadowed by excessive information citing. Sounded like a book repot.

not worth the listen

did not finish. story seemed like it was from a biased person subject to a limited view of Jennie's life and lacked first-hand knowledge of any events. words used were "best person ever," or "kind to all".... was a bit weird due to the severely skewed perspective.

Poorly Written

Poorly written…so much so that I am unable to complete this book. I am a fan of Jenni and gave my best college PhD effort in trying to get though the book but not worth the money, time or energy.
