Alicia Augello Cook , real name of the singer, also commented that Michelle Obama , former first lady of the United States, will have a special participation, as she will present a chapter, and we will probably also find some words from Barack Obama's wife.

Many wonder what this literary work can contain that makes it so desirable, and the answer is simple. For some years, Alicia decided to put on paper everything that happened to her since she was a child, until her debut in music.

She did not have a simple life, she is the daughter of a single mother who left her place of origin to pursue a dream, the background of which was to give a quality life to her little girl.
Keys grew up in one of the Big Apple's most dangerous neighborhoods, and leaving home, and coming back alive, was a victory that had to be celebrated.
For a long time she was judged for her masculine style, but did you know that it was a defense mechanism so as not to be attractive to the men who lived in her neighborhood?
"There were pimps and prostitutes everywhere. We had those XXX theaters, heroin addicts, crack addicts. Those streets were full of all those people in all those situations (...) As a young woman, I definitely learned early how to call the attention as little as possible and how to go unnoticed in these places, "revealed Alicia in an interview with The Associated Press .
Anecdotes like these abound on each of the pages of "More Myself".
