About this eBook

“I wrote this book not to dismiss a rumor but to share something much more important: my journey to forgiveness.”

Chiquis Rivera is a singer and the daughter of the late music superstar Jenni Rivera. In Forgiveness, her memoir, Chiquis bravely reveals the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father during her childhood and the difficulties she’s faced in her personal life as a result. Despite growing up marked by the wounds of abuse, she eventually conquered her fear of love andintimacy.

The story within these pages also recounts what caused the distance between her and her mother toward the end of Jenni’s life. In Forgiveness, Chiquis brings to light truths that she wishes she had been able to reveal to Jenni.

Two years after her mother’s death, Chiquis answers the most difficult questions: Was she able to make peace with Jenni? And in this story of triumph and tragedy, who is most in need of forgiveness?

Ratings and reviews

Before anyone attacks me, yes I am a chiquis fan. That being said, I think this was an ok book. It did have some grammar mistakes and the writing structure wasn't the best. I did enjoy reading the book and learning a little bit about her. However I did feel that instead of staying on the subject of forgiveness, it was more about her talking about how her mother was jealous of her :/

Really didn't know much about Chiquis, just what you hear in the media now I have a better understanding reading her book.Keep doing you Chiquis whatever your doing in life, I'm sure your mom would be proud of you!

I love the story it is very interesting and hart breaking from the bigging to the end end spacialy when she lost her mother.love ur book girl keep up all the gud work ur mother have thought u in life...
