Born Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone in a 1958 Detroit suburb, even as a kid, she always had that blind ambition. She had the talent, the smarts, the moves and the unerring penchant for pushing the right buttons—be they political, sexual or religious—that moved those to either love her or hate her. And that’s exactly the way she planned it. Two decades later, she still makes music…and headlines.

Wild Angel goes behind the hype to get at the root of her passion for self-reinvention. A cultural icon to millions of young women, Madonna knew which rules to break and which new rules to write. This most successful female recording artist of all time is a Grammy and Golden Globe winner, a singer, songwriter, dancer, drummer, guitarist, actress, author, record producer, film producer and fashionista supreme who has sold over 200 million records. She is also the highest-earning female singer of all time, and holds the record for top-grossing female artist concert tour. Forbes magazine recently estimated her worth at $325 million…all from a girl who lost her mother at age five and came to New York to be a dancer with $35 in her pocket.
