Publisher's Summary

In The Most Beautiful, a title inspired by the hit song Prince wrote about their legendary love story, Mayte Garcia for the first time shares the deeply personal story of their relationship and offers a singular perspective on the music icon and their world together: from their unconventional meeting backstage at a concert (and the long-distance romance that followed) to their fairy-tale wedding (and their groundbreaking artistic partnership) to the devastating losses that ultimately dissolved their romantic relationship for good. Throughout it all they shared a bond more intimate than any other in Prince's life. No one else can tell this story or can provide a deeper, more nuanced portrait of Prince - both the famously private man and the pioneering, beloved artist - than Mayte, his partner during some of the most pivotal personal and professional years of his career. The Most Beautiful is a book that will be returned to for decades, as Prince's music lives on with generations to come.

Written and read by Mayte Garcia.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A wonderful, heartfelt work that honours the memory of Prince

I've been an enthusiastic fan of Prince's work since the mid-80's. with this book, Mayte has put together a truely inspiring story, taking us on the roller coaster ride that was her decade+ long relationship with Prince.
It brought back so many wonderful memories of the Prince concerts & after parties I've attended, including the first time he toured Sydney (with a young Mayte) in the Diamonds and Pearls tour.

I just want to thank Mayte for sharing her heart with us. The world is still grieving the loss of this musical genius and this book helps to salv the wounds left when he left us.

Listening to the audio version, read by Mayte made it alll the more touching.

Thank you Mayte, may God bless you and your most beautiful family.

Exceptional Book!!

Mayte gave an exceptional performance of this wonderful story. It really did feel like it was from the heart, and you felt all her emotions, especially during the unfortunate parts of her life, but even the uplifting moment she finally had the child she so badly wanted. I cried a number of times. Thank you for a wonderful book Mayte.

A beautiful love story

Loved this story from start to finish. Told in a very respectful and loving manner, Mayte bares her soul and gives an intimate insight into life with the legend. It's so much more than just about this one man. There's something to be said about writing a memoir when the time is right. Some do so too early and you can tell they're skimming the surface. This story is raw and honest and insightful. It covers love, loss, music, art, religion, heartbreak, betrayal, hope, motherhood, adoption and more - I didn't want it to end.

I lived with Prince the whole time I read the book

Mayte couldn’t have done a better job. She described her life with Prince in the most loving way possible even though she was clearly groomed by him. I could relate on many levels. I understood why she loved him so completely and also why she had to leave. Brilliant

beautiful, sad, joyful

this was beautiful, I cried, I laughed, I smiled, I loved along with Mayte and Prince, he went from being this amazing un touchable supernova that I will always feel sad and disappointed that I never got to see perform live, to being a human being, flawed like all of us, sometimes sad like me.... I miss him as if I knew him personally....I loved this so much, Mayte told this story with respect, love, emotion and compassion...I'm so in love with this story
