Product Description
It's been over ten years since Big was killed. I grieved for him for a very long time. And then, as time passed, the icy wall of grief surrounding my heart began to thaw and I began to heal. I remarried, had more children, and continued to record and release more music. I continued to live my life. And while I can never discount the time I spent with Big, I've never felt the need to live in the past.
But sometimes, I still find myself thinking about Big being rushed the hospital, and I break down in tears.
It's not just because we hung up on each other during what would be our last telephone conversation. And it's not because I am raising our son, a young man who has never known his father.
It's partly all of those things. But mainly it's because he wasn't ready to go. His debut album was called Ready to Die. But in the end, he wasn't. Big never got a chance to tell his story. It's been left to others to tell it for him. In making the decision to tell my own story, it means that I've become one of those who can give insight to who Big really was. But I can only speak on what he meant to me.
Yet I also want people to understand that although he was a large part of my life, my story doesn't actually begin or end with Big's death. My journey has been complicated on many levels. And since I am always linked to Big, there are a lot of misconceptions about who I really am.
I hope that in reading my words, there is inspiration to be found. Perhaps you can duplicate my success or achieve where I have failed. Maybe you can skip over the mistakes I've made. Use my life as an example-of what to do and in some cases, what not to do.
It's not easy putting your life out there for the masses. But I've decided I'll tell my own story. For Big. For my children. And for myself.

 Great Book!!!! November 25, 2008
Faith did an excellent job with this book, I couldn't put it down. Chronicled everything from her early life in jersey,failed and abusive relationships, and the life and times of The Greatest Rapper of all time The Notorious B.I.G. For fans of 90's hip-hop & r&b this is an absolute must read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Faith Keeping the Faith November 24, 2008
I have always liked Faith. She has endured a lot of misfortune in her life and has been able to over come them. This is a must read.
Another compelling biography.
Imagine being in one of the most successful boy bands of all time, New Edition; Then leave the group to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world; Date some of the most world renown celebrities, such as Janet Jackson and Madonna....

very happening book November 16, 2008
faith evans has presented a very interesting book on her time with biggie, puffy and the long rumored situation with 2pac and her kids, and her life before and now. faith evans has always been a interesting person to me and this book covers a wide range of topics and puts some things into perspective. worth checking out.i tend to be hit and miss with her music but i respect her and she is cool.
Very good read! November 10, 2008
Read her story in 2 days. I enjoyed reading about her life, especially during the Biggie period. I've always been a fan of her music especially the first album. To hear what was going on in her life at the time now sheds a lot of light to the tone of that first CD. Again I say, great read.
A very good read November 10, 2008
I thought this book was a very good fast read. I feel like she kept it honest good or bad and who can fault her for that.
