SynopsisRita Marley grew up in Trench Town, a slum in Kingston, Jamaica, and was raised by her beloved Aunty. Music ran in their family, and even as a child Rita possessed a talent for singing that was remarked upon. Nevertheless, by the time she was eighteen, she had become an unwed mother, and it seemed as if her musical career was going nowhere. It was then that Rita met Bob Marley, literally on the road in front of her house. Later, after being reintroduced at a local recording studio, they became close friends and fell in love. Soon, Rita was singing backup for the Wailers, Bob's reggae group. When he was twenty-one and she nineteen, they married. The rest is history: Bob and the Wailers set all of Jamaica, and eventually the entire world, on fire with their incredible style of reggae music. But while Bob's star rose and he traveled the world to promote his art, Rita stayed at home trying to feed their growing family. From peddling Bob's records on the back of her bicycle to living in a shack without electricity and washing his one pair of underwear every night, Rita was the devoted wife. Eventually her burning desire to be in the music world was satisfied as well, and she was recognized for her incredible talents as the lead singer of her own group, the Soulettes, and as a backup singer with the I-Three., The story of Rita Marley's life as the girlfriend, wife, and eventual widow of Bob Marley, the legend of reggae music, whose distinctive sound has been part of the world's popular culture for more than three decades., A revealing memoir of Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley, from the woman who knew him better than anyone-his wife. Rita Marley met Bob Marley in a recording studio in Trench Town, Jamaica when she was eighteen. A year later, they were married. The two of them set the world on fire. But life with Bob was not easy. Written with author Hettie Jones, No Woman No Cry is an honest account of Bob and Rita's life together, including never-before-told details of the famed songwriter's life, from Bob's multiple affairs to the attack that almost killed them both-and who did and didn't come to his funeral. No Woman No Cry is a must-read for any Bob Marley fan.
