Summary
From a young age, Mariah Carey knew she’d do anything it took to escape the prison of her abusive home life. And singing made her feel free. So when her one-in-a-million voice made her a breakout star, she didn’t know she’d be trading one prison for one of her own making.
This is a 4-part series on Mariah Carey, the enchanted songstress who battled her way through abuse and control, then fought like hell to truly be free.
