According to Evans, however, the book was almost shelved. "I was worried about the 'Big' element and I knew that it was one of those things that people would talk about more, especially in the media" says Faith, who spoke with Soultracks recently.
Evans credits Biggie's mother, Volletta Wallace with giving her the okay to release the book after several months of collaborating with Aliya, who worked on the memoir. "I was going back and forth with myself and then I spoke to Miss Wallace and she said 'You should do it. People think they know you and they don't'. Wallace may have been right as Evans' novel is getting close to hitting the top 10 on the New York Times Best Seller's List, according to recent reports the book is sitting at #21 after just short of a month on shelves.
Detailing everything from experiences with Biggie, Lil Kim, Mary J. Blige, Tupac and even Suge Knight to her struggle as a woman in the game, Faith Evans' story has proven to be a riveting and relatable to story to many.
