Cole's performance enhances her refreshingly honest and candid autobiography. Although she is the daughter of legendary singer Nat "King" Cole, she has been no stranger to adversity, both in her career and personal life. The title of her memoir reflects the pop singer's strong religious beliefs; she is certain that, several times in her life, it was only the intervention of angels that saved her. Frankly describing her devastating addiction to drugs, Cole assumes full responsibility for her past mistakes and could certainly serve as an inspiration to others facing the same terrible struggle. She is also open about domestic troubles including her marital problems and love-hate relationship with her mother. This substantial account of Cole's life and Grammy Award-winning career also offers interesting glimpses into the inner workings of the pop music industry. Highly recommended for all music and biography collections.DBeth Farrell, Portage Cty. Dist. Lib., OH

Using the techniques learned in a quarter century on stage, Natalie Cole gives a wonderful performance of her "as told to" autobiography. The pain in her voice as she relates her life's disasters--some self-inflicted--is sincere. Her description of her father's death could move a stone to tears. But it's not all high drama; Cole also slips into delightful dialects in describing the various locales and phases of her life. An abiding faith in God, a belief in the continuing guidance of her father, and the Hazelden Foundation helped her clean up her life, but one suspects there will be further fascinating chapters to come.
