    "description": "<p>From the acclaimed, controversial singer-songwriter Sin&eacute;ad O&rsquo;Connor comes a revelatory memoir of her fraught childhood, musical triumphs, fearless activism, and of the enduring power of song. Blessed with a singular voice and a fiery temperament, Sin&eacute;ad O&rsquo;Connor rose to massive fame in the late 1980s and 1990s with a string of gold records. By the time she was twenty, she was world famous&mdash;living a rock star life out loud. From her trademark shaved head to her 1992 appearance on Saturday Night Live when she tore up Pope John Paul II&rsquo;s photograph, Sin&eacute;ad has fascinated and outraged millions. In Rememberings, O&rsquo;Connor recounts her painful tale of growing up in Dublin in a dysfunctional, abusive household. Inspired by a brother&rsquo;s Bob Dylan records, she escaped into music. She relates her early forays with local Irish bands; we see Sin&eacute;ad completing her first album while eight months pregnant, hanging with Rastas in the East Village, and soaring to unimaginable popularity with her cover of Prince&rsquo;s &ldquo;Nothing Compares 2U.&rdquo; Intimate, replete with candid anecdotes and told in a singular form true to her unconventional career, Sin&eacute;ad&rsquo;s memoir is a remarkable chronicle of an enduring and influential artist.</p>",
