Reviews
Tina Turner is one of the greatest entertainers of our time. When one writes their story, it typically includes one's flaws. Yes, Tina had an abusive partner and finally made the decision to get out and never go back; she had a mother that didn't provide the love she craved; and was fortunate to have other musicians embrace her and find the love of her life. Between her great relationship, multiple houses, and redecorating, she found happiness. But what she doesn't tackle is that fact that her four children were left without either parent and shuffled around to other relatives and friends. If you are going to be honest about your "love story" then this aspect of your life should be faced as well. Still love Tina.
