Adrahtas gained unprecedented access to individuals who worked closely with the singer during her' five decades in the music business, and 'from their lips to your ears, the author not only shares little-known facts about Ross, but also refutes many of the unfair criticisms and stereotypes that the singing star has been subjected to, calling into account those who’ve propagated them.

A LIFETIME TO GET HERE

stands out from previous titles

“...A LIFETIME TO GET HERE...” delivers the goods;

• The myths and misperceptions purported by her Supremes' sister, Mary Wilson,

• How Ross dealt with 30 years of false accusations and untruths,

• What was the 'behind the scene's relationship between Diana, Mary, Florence and Cindy,

• Who coined the phrase, 'Call Her Miss Ross,' and why,

• How did Diana handle Mary Wilson's bitter "Dreamgirls" memoir,

• What Gladys Horton (of the Marvelettes) has said that is invaluable to Ross' fans, and,

• How the film 'Dreamgirls' delivers a highly fictionalized perspective of the Supremes.

“...A LIFETIME TO GET HERE...” is a beautiful 450 page, coffee table hard cover that features over 60 photographs, including many that have never been previously published, about America's Original Dream Girl, Diana Ross. 

The Diana Ross that is captured in these pages is the woman who inspired the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, and Beyonce - the woman who opened the door for the Halle Berrys of the world, and the woman whose name instantly conjures up the essence of glamour and elegance.

Perhaps most significantly, it is the story of a woman who realized the greatest of career heights, while successfully making her first priority the raising of her 5 children.
