ldquo;Amy was one of those rare people who made an impact . . . She was a bundle of emotions; at times adorable and at times unbearable. . . . Amyrsquo;s passing did not follow a clear line. It was jumbled; and her life was unfinishedmdash;not lifersquo;s natural order at all. She left no answers; only questions; and in the years since her death Irsquo;ve found myself trying to make sense of the frayed ends of her extraordinary existence.rdquo; Arguably the most gifted artist of her generation; Amy Winehouse died tragically young; aged just twenty-seven. With a worldwide fan base and millions of record sales to her name; she should have had the world at her feet. Yet in the years prior to her death; she battled with addiction and was frequently the subject of lurid tabloid headlines.Amyrsquo;s mother; Janis; knew her in a way that no one else did. In this warm; poignant; and at times heartbreaking memoir; she tells the full story of the daughter she loved so much. As the world watched the rise of a superstar; then the free fall of an addict to her tragic death; Janis simply saw her Amy: the daughter shersquo;d given birth to; the girl shersquo;d raised and stood by despite her unruly behavior; the girl whose body she was forced to identify two days after her deathmdash;and the girl shersquo;s grieved for every day since. Including rare photographs and extracts from Amyrsquo;s childhood journals; Loving Amy offers a new and intimate perspective on the life and untimely death of a musical icon.
