Brutally Honest

"Mel B is a global icon, known by millions as the embodiment of Girl Power: Scary Spice. Yet behind the glittering faðcade of fame lies a complex tale of domestic abuse, heartbreak, deceit, trauma...and courage. In Brutally Honest, Mel traces her rollercoaster life story--the mixed-race kid from the backstreets of Leeds who became one fifth of the world's biggest ever girl band. With remarkable frankness, Mel tells how she went from Girl Power to girl powerless during her ten-year abusive marriage in Los Angeles. And now, in compelling new chapters, Mel charts her battle to reclaim her life and her mental health--returning to perform with the Spice Girls, becoming a champion for domestic abuse survivors, receiving an MBE and finding love and family back home in Leeds."--Page 4 of cover.
