Nikki Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Maybe this isn't new to some of you, but it was to me. I went on a free trial to read online books and typed in madonna just to see what they have. There's a biography named 'goddess inside madonna'. I dont know how reliable it is, but I thought it was both amusing and heartbreaking. but I was happily surprised to read that Madonna's mom and Madonna are more alike than I thought (i always assumed she was a loving catholic sweet mom but she seemed a little controversial) I just screen capped what struck me. but there's a lot more; the story about madonna learning that her mother died is heartbreaking. I also learned that madonna's grandmother elsie lost three children to cancer. not just her daughter madonna, but also 2 sons. paragraphs about madonna's mother and how she has dealt with cancer elsie about M Elsie persuading her daughter to baptise Madonna the 2 other sons elsie lost this one is funny and very madonna this is all new information to me. and the way elsie and friends & family talk about madonna's mother, it's sounding like it could be about madonna (the daughter)
kraff78 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks for sharing!! Fascinating and heartbreaking.
tycole6 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Those are exceptional. Thanks for sharing them with everyone. For those who don't understand Madonna, they only have to look to this incident and it will make nearly all of Madonna's actions make sense. It inspired her drive, her work ethic, her fears, everything. It's heartbreaking and beautiful.
Apples388 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I couldn't finish reading it. It felt like a gross violation into Madonna's childhood and privacy to be honest.
Nikki Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 I couldn't finish reading it. It felt like a gross violation into Madonna's childhood and privacy to be honest. Madonna herself talked about her mother and childhood openly on howard stern. Thought people would love this because of her mom seeming to be as strong and persevering as M.. and how her grandmother talked about having the strong feeling M was gonna be someone special. I meant well
Apples388 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Sorry Nikki I didn't mean it against you at all. Just my own personal feelings reading the text. It was more about the people that wrote those books I suppose. Ultimately they made money out of that which feels a little bit in bad taste. I don't mind if Madonna herself chose to write or talk about her mother as she has done on numerous occasions because it's her dead mother; but when others outside their own family do it, surely that's a bit ... wrong? I know you meant well darling x
Guest juliebean Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wow! this is really personal I just skimmed some lines I feel like Madonna wouldn't want her fans to read this... Unless she told about it in article and about her mom is just so heartbreaking as fans It's not for us to know the details... I just feel it's disrespectful to Madonna and her family and this is just my opnion and I am NOT creating drama.
loowee Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I really hope the rumor about her family having genetic/hereditary cancer is false.
acko Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I read that book years ago, it's one of the trashy ones...This is in fact the one claims she had EIGHT abortions. 'Some people think that two is several' - Madonna.
Jazzy Jan Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Those are exceptional. Thanks for sharing them with everyone. For those who don't understand Madonna, they only have to look to this incident and it will make nearly all of Madonna's actions make sense. It inspired her drive, her work ethic, her fears, everything. It's heartbreaking and beautiful. So true. Madonna has talked about her mother's death in quite a lot of detail and how it changed her entire life and how she saw the world. She always pays tribute to her mother in the most beautiful ways and did so recently in the Ghosttown video when she kissed her picture. Very heart-breaking and such a devastating event for a little girl to go through.
Guest Pud Whacker Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 it was a great book!!! i loved all that section. so insightful.
