Hachette Books
Almost one year after his death, Prince's first wife, Mayte Garcia, opens up about
her life with Prince. Why now? Why not now?
The title, The Most Beautiful,l is inspired by Prince's hit song, “The Most Beautiful
Girl in The World.” If you're wondering, – yes, the song was written about Mayte.
The first half of the book discussed her childhood and her love of dancing. She
started dancing at the tender age of three. She recalled her mom telling her
when someone asked her age, to show five fingers because the age requirement
for dance school was five. At the age of eight, she appeared on the hit show,
That's Incredible as the youngest professional belly dancer. Mayte wasn't a
stranger to the bright lights, but nothing on the level of brightness when she met
Prince.
In the second half of the book, Mayte discusses how she met Prince at the age of 16.
After attending a Prince concert, her mom thought it would be a good idea to give
Prince a tape of one of her belly-dancing performances since he had some Arabic music
in one of his sets. As fate would have it, Prince ended up having a concert in her
hometown of Germany. And as they say, the rest is history. - continued
