<strong>From the acclaimed controversial singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor comes a revelatory memoir of her fraught childhood musical triumphs struggles with illness and of the enduring power of song.</strong><br/><br/>Blessed with a singular voice and a fiery temperament Sinéad O'Connor rose to massive fame in the late 1980s and 1990s with a string of gold records. By the time she was twenty she was world-famous--living a rock-star life out loud. From her trademark shaved head to her 1992 appearance on <em>Saturday Night Live</em> when she tore up Pope John Paul II's photograph Sinéad has fascinated and outraged millions. <br/><br/>In <em>Rememberings </em>O'Connor recounts her painful tale of growing up in Dublin in a dysfunctional abusive household. Inspired by a brother's Bob Dylan records she escaped into music. She relates her early forays with local Irish bands; we see Sinéad completing her first album while eight months pregnant hanging with Rastas in the East Village and soaring to unimaginable popularity with her cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U.<br/><br/>Intimate replete with candid anecdotes and told in a singular form true to her unconventional career Sinéad's memoir is a remarkable chronicle of an enduring and influential artist.
