Description

Bob Marley, My Son is a poignant and revealing account of the life of reggae icon Bob Marley, as told by his mother, Cedella Marley Booker. Born to a poor rural upbringing in Jamaica, Cedella recounts her early life, her courtship with Captain Marley, and the birth of her son, who would go on to introduce the world to reggae music.

The book takes readers through Cedella's struggles in raising Bob on her family's farm and in the crime-ridden streets of Kingston, as well as her courageous move to start a new life in the United States. It also explores Bob's transformation into a reggae superstar and cultural prophet, including his embrace of Rastafarianism, his relationships with women, and his use of ganja.

This book offers a true and intimate look at Bob Marley's life, not just as a cultural icon, but as a son, and a mother's love and devotion to him.
