Summary
Mariah’s only a teenager when she meets Tommy Mottola. As the head of Columbia Records, Tommy takes her from coat check girl to international superstar. But her fame comes at a price. Tommy controls her every move: what she wears, where she goes, and who she can (and can’t) hang out. When Mariah begins calling their house “Sing Sing,” she knows it’s time to hatch an escape plan.
