The memoir of Jenni Rivera, the grupero diva who formerly lived in Norco and was killed in a plane crash in December, will be published this summer, according to the Associated Press.
The Mexican-American singer and TV star’s book is called “Unbreakable” and will be published in English and Spanish and is due out in July.
From the AP story:
Rosie Rivera, the late singer’s sister, said the family had decided to share Rivera’s book with her fans so they could “enjoy her as we have.”
“I miss my sister every moment, but on days that I want to feel her close, I open her book written in her own words, and feel her right next to me,” Rosie Rivera said in a statement issued by Atria.
Atria vice president and senior editor Johanna Castillo said she had talked to Rivera about the impact she hoped her book’s message would have on readers.
“This book is her legacy to all of her fans,” Castillo said.
“Unbreakable” had been in the works for serveral years and Rivera, who sold millions of albums and frequently performed sold-out shows in Inland casinos, had completed the book before the plane crash.
