To Selena, with Love

A heartfelt and revealing tribute to music superstar Selena, one of the most compelling and adored singers in Latin music history

Selena was nothing short of a phenomenon who shared all of herself with her millions of devoted fans. Her tragic murder, at the age of twenty-three, stripped the world of her talent and boundless potential, her tightly-knit family of their beloved angel, and her husband, Chris Perez, of the greatest love he had ever known.

For years, Chris held onto the only personal thing he had left from his late wife—the touching and sometimes painful memories of their very private bond. In To Selena, with Love, Chris opens up about their unbreakable friendship, their forbidden relationship, and their blossoming marriage that was cut short.

Chris’s powerful story gives a rare glimpse into Selena’s sincerity and vulnerability when falling in love, strength and conviction when fighting for that love, and absolute resilience when finding peace and normalcy with her family’s acceptance of the only man she called her husband.

While showcasing a side of Selena that has never been disclosed before and clarifying certain misconceptions about her life and death, To Selena, with Love is an everlasting love story that immortalizes the heart and soul of an extraordinary, unforgettable, and irreplaceable icon.

This commemorative edition includes photos and a special chapter detailing the author’s reflection since writing the book.
