Non-Fiction Memoir
As the mother of hip-hop superstar Kanye West, Donda West
has watched her son grow from a brilliant baby boy with all
the intimations of fame and fortune to one of the hottest
rappers on the music scene. And she has every right to be
proud: she raised her son with strong moral values, teaching
him right from wrong and helping him become the man he is
today. In Raising Kanye, Donda not only pays homage
to her famous son but reflects on all the things she learned
about being his mother along the way. Featuring
never-before-seen photos and compelling personal anecdotes,
Donda's powerful and inspiring memoir reveals everything
from the difficulties she faced as a single mother in the
African-American community to her later experiences as
Kanye's manager as he rose to superstardom. Speaking frankly
about her son's reputation as a "Mama's Boy," and his
memorable public outbursts about gay rights and President
George W. Bush, Donda supports her son without exception,
and here she shares the invaluable wisdom she has taken away
from each experience -- passion, tolerance, patience, and
above all, always telling the truth. Ultimately, she not
only expresses what her famously talented son has meant to
her but what he has meant to music and an entire
generation.
