Résumé :

She's adored by millions, but Beyonc? Giselle Knowles-Carter is only truly known by a few. Highly acclaimed biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli takes us from a childhood spent performing in talent shows, to finding worldwide success with the R&B group Destiny's Child. Since then, Beyonc? has found fame on her own terms, releasing five solo albums that have sold over 75 million copies. A top songwriter, performer, fashion idol and business mogul, she is nothing short of a global superstar.

Yet fame has come hand in hand with personal sacrifice and private heartbreak. Hounded by the paparazzi, Beyonc? has always kept her personal affairs under lock and key. Whether it be the ups and downs of her relationship with her sister Solange, her tumultuous history with her father and ex-manager Mathew, or her life with husband Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonc? guards her personal life carefully. But now Taraborrelli reveals the real woman behind the star.

Based on exhaustive research, including exclusive interviews with those who have played pivotal roles in her life and career, Taraborrelli brings to light the hard-earned lessons Queen Bey has learned about love, life, loyalty and family. Insightful and entertaining, Becoming Beyonc? is the first authoritative biography of one of the world's most powerful and inspirational women.
