Only Christopher can tell the full scale, riveting untold story behind the woman who has intrigued, scandalized, and entertained millions for half a century. In Life with My Sister, Christopher reveals the real woman behind Madonna's carefully constructed mythology and glittering façade. From their shared Michigan childhood, which Madonna transcended to whisk Christopher to Manhattan with her in the early eighties—Christopher was with her every step of the way, experiencing all her incarnations firsthand. The spoiled daddy's girl, the punk drummer, the raunchy Boy Toy, Material Girl, Mrs. Sean Penn, Warren Beatty's glamorous Hollywood paramour, loving mother, Mrs. Guy Ritchie, English grande dame—Christopher witnessed and understood all of them, as his own life was inexorably entwined with that of his chameleon sister. He tangled with a cast of characters from artist Jean- Michel Basquiat, to Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Demi Moore, and, of course, Guy Ritchie, whose advent in Madonna's life splintered the loving relationship Christopher once had with her. The mirror image of his legendary sister, with his acid Ciccone tongue, Christopher pulls no punches as he tells his astonishing story.

Ciccone, who has worked as a dancer, interior designer, and concert tour director, turns author with this tell-all of life with his now-estranged sister, Madonna. Having shared a childhood home and traveled with his famous sibling as part of her entourage for many years, he's able to confirm stories, deflect rumors, and give listeners an inside look at one of pop music/culture's most enduring icons. Ciccone's tone is intimate and chatty; his voice, quietly authoritative. Of interest to public libraries.
