Matriarch: A Memoir is the second book to come out from Tina Knowles. She has now become a household name in her own right after her daughter rose to prominence as the lead singer of Destiny’s Child.
This is the story of Tina, the chronicle of a completely unique life. Known for being the mother of Beyoncé and Solange as well as to her ‘bonus daughter’ Kelly Rowland, she has been known all over the world as the Matriarch with the capital letter M. She is also known for being self-aware, self-possessed, determined and wise, a woman who was able to raise and inspire some of the greatest artists living in this era.
However, this story includes so much more than just that. This book begins with the story of a young girl who was growing up in Galveston in the fifties. She was the youngest daughter of seven children. Tina loves her world, and enjoys having extended family living on every other porch. She enjoys hearing the sounds of Motown as well as the beach and the waves within earshot.
The realities of race start to set in as well as the limitations that came with being a girl during this time period. As this starts happening Tina starts to dream of what the world beyond could hold for her. On top of that, her impulsive nature and her instincts push her so much farther, far beyond the Texas shores to find the life that is waiting for her on the other side of being a child.
That life’s journey through tragedy, grief, risks, turmoil, creative challenges and more is chronicled in this engaging and detailed memoir. This is a story that readers who love memoirs will want to read, where Tina shows readers the inside look of her young life all the way through guiding her superstar children and following her own gifts.
This is the incredible story of family love and everything from creative audacity to heartbreak and more, as well as the will that is required from a girl from Galveston to help change the world.
It is the tale of one woman in particular that also brings in other people’s stories to feature. It also contains the story of America, as well as the wisdom passed onto each other from women across generations, mothers to daughters, and a multi-generational family saga that you won’t want to miss.
