Bookcover
New
York, NY - Pepa is the spiciest ingredient in the legendary
rap group Salt-N-Pepa, and the outspoken star of VH1’s smash-hit
reality show. She’s Sandy “Denton”—she’s never at a loss for
words. Now in LET’S TALK ABOUT PEP (VH1/Pocket Books;
September 2008), she bares all, telling her side of the story
and leaving no detail unturned-- with the true candor and
raw emotion of someone who has been there, done that, and
survived.
|
For the first time, Pepa talks about her troubled
childhood, surviving abuse, her first encounters with Cheryl
“Salt” James, her failed marriages and her escape from domestic
abuse, her “breakup” with Salt and their eventual “reunion”,
her triumphant comeback on the VH1 reality shows The Surreal
Life, Fame Games, and The Salt-N-Pepa Show,
and more.
This is the real Pepa—upfront, uncensored,
unstoppable—and this is the memoir of a true pioneer, fighter,
survivor, and inspiration to women everywhere. Written with
New York Times bestselling author Karen Hunter, the book is
filled with surprising insights, outrageous anecdotes, and
celebrity cameos—including an introduction by Queen Latifah
and an epilogue by Missy Elliott. LET’S TALK ABOUT PEP
is the story of a pop culture icon whose remarkable life is
every bit as captivating and provocative as her Grammy Award-winning
music.
To accommodate the book, Pepa has launched
her very own social network and online fan club at www.LetsTalkAboutPep.com.
The site allows old school hip-hop fans to connect with each
other, and stay up-to-par with her latest happenings. Users
can join for free and interact with related news, blogs, forums,
events, groups, photos, and video. The site is powered by
Connect Platform, an exclusive service of Lee Moss Media.
