A unique, intimate biography of Bob Marley by the person who knew him best, his wife Rita.
Bob Marley is the king of reggae and one of music's great iconic figures. Rita Marley was his wife, the mother of four of his children, and his backing singer, friend, life-long companion and soul mate. Their marriage was not always easy, but Rita was the woman Bob returned to no matter where music and other women might take him - the woman who held him when he died at the age of 35.
Today she sees herself as the guardian of his legacy. Full of new insights, No Woman, No Cry is a unique biography of Marley by someone who understands what it meant to grow up with poverty, racism and prejudice in Jamaica. It is a moving and inspiring story of a marriage that survived both poverty and then the strains of global celebrity. Rita Marley performs with the reggae group I-Three and helps run the Bob Marley Foundation. She performs worldwide and makes her home in Ghana, West Africa. Hettie Jones is an award-winning poet, prose writer and editor who lives in Manhattan.
