“This is the story of Motown Records, as told by the ex-wife of its legendary CEO Berry Gordy. They say, ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ and Raynoma is furious here. The things that kept me reading are the familiar songs, characters, and the detail. Being a musician herself, Raynoma’s writing has a very lyrical and – dare I say hooky? – quality. If half of this salacious material is true, which she says, ‘As god is my witness,’ every word of it is – it could change the way you feel about some true music icons.”↗
