A fulfilling journey of Melanie Thornton's life

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2012

I like many other fans of La Bouche and Melanie Thornton, were shattered with the untimely passing of such a great vocalist and true talent in the music world. Growing up in the 90s, I was a teen, but always loved the power of her voice. I followed her work from her start, to the very end of her career. I even tried my hardest to win tickets to the Dance Across America tour at Joey Harrison's Surf Club on the Jersey shore, that was unfortunately destroyed due to Hurricane Sandy in 2012. I called in and won, but I was too young to attend, I had to pass the tickets to my sister. So I never got to see Melanie perform live. So after her passing, I felt I could never meet or connect with Melanie, I always wanted to know about her life. She had so much more going for her. Thanks to Lois Thornton Chisholm (Melanie's sister)this book brought me closer and spiritually closer to Melanie Thornton as well. From her childhood, to her teen years, to the turbulent La Bouche years, to her solo career and beyond. Even though we lost Melanie way too early. Through her music and the love of her talent, she lives on. Another piece of history is this book. Filled with pictures of her life. I loved every minute of it. Bringing tears to my eyes, but filled with joy. It even takes on a spiritual journey as well. My only complaint was at the end with some of the tributes were in other languages and were not translated to English. I could not put it down. Ms. Chisholm does a fantastic job of portraying Melanie's life and how her and her family coped with her loss. I'm a huge believer in spirit and energy. And I know that when La Bouche come on or Melanie Thornton comes on, she is here in spirit and will live on through that. Thank you Melanie, we will never forget you, thank you for gracing our lives with your gifts. I enjoyed this book and I think you will too.

Dreams, love, ambition, joy, success and tragedy

Melanie Thornton was destined to be the next world's superstar. A great personality and a fantastic, unique, touching and powerful voice. Hits like "Be My Lover", "Sweet Dreams", "You Won't Forget Me", "Love How You Love Me" and "Wonderful Dream" became classics. Melanie Thornton brought me so much joy with her music and personality and still does to this day. She was destined to be the "next Donna Summer", who also started her career in Germany with an amazing voice and great records, and became a superstar. Melanie's voice was so powerful and unique, and she was a fantastic personality. I still miss her to this day.
I just discovered this and bought the kindle through Amazon (I look forward to a physical copy of this book). This book tells the personal story of Melanie Thornton, destined to be a worldstar, written by her sister Lois Thronton Chisolm, who writes with warmth, passion, love, respect and emotion about her talented sister. Thank you, Lois Thornton Chisolm for sharing this personal book full of joy, dreams, ambition and tragedy. Please remember, Melanie will never be forgotten, and she brought so much joy to so many people all around the globe. Her life was short, but so very meaningful.
Melanie's legacy will continue.

Sweet Melanie...the story of beautiful life cut short.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2013

I so loved tthis book, could not put it down. This beautiful young lady was my neighbor, and I had the joy of watching her grow up and her talents blossom. I enjoyed the happiness and joy of being around their entire family. I have a daughter very close to her in age..we did many activities together. Although from different races, our friendship looked beyond that fact. It broke my heart when I saw her picture on the front page of the newspaper after her plane crashed. She. was just budding in her beautiful career. I was able to see Melanie through the eyes of her loving sister, Lois, who wrote the book. My daughter's picture even appeared in family snapshots! This is another proof that life is on God's terms, not ours. I was 1 of 2 white neighbors at her funeral, and the only one at the celebration following. Lois also shows that it is who you are in your heart that matters, not material possessions. I recommend this biography to everyone, especially those who want to understand the South. Family is the nucleus of our lives.

Having played a role in publicizing La Bouche in the United States by compiling the first website for them worldwide, I am greatful to read more about a woman whose voice inspired my own creativity. I am so privileged to hear from Lane that she had seen the website and knew who I was. I am however sorry I never got to meet Melanie. Still inspiring me today! (aka shortcub)

A wonderful story full of inside information that you otherwise wouldn't know. This story takes you further into Melanie's life from the beginning to the unfortunate end. Melanie might be gone, but she will never be forgotten. The legacy will live on.

Melanie’s sister Lois tells the story simply but beautifully of her sister’s life. I’m so glad that she decided to write this book and share insights into Melanie’s life that we never would have known otherwise. The book has also given us insight into Melanie’s beautiful family and the heartbreaking result for the family of Melanie’s whirlwind engagement to a man who she thought was her soul mate.
