Eight-time Grammy Award® winner CeCe Winans has broken new ground as a superstar of gospel: her celebrated career includes platinum and gold albums, collaborations with Whitney Houston, and forays into television and the Broadway stage. Now CeCe Winans recalls a life full of blessings in this warm and intimate memoir. On a Positive Note is CeCe's inspiring story of her journey from the projects of Detroit to international fame and award-winning success. She portrays how she took the brave step of leaving home, along with her brother BeBe, to work as a background singer on Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's television program. She offers the courageous testimony of a rising recording star facing life-changing decisions, and tells the wonderful story of meeting the man who became her soul mate and husband. And finally, CeCe Winans shares a moving and candid account of her lifelong attempt, through times of tears and laughter, to sing of God's glory and live with His love in her heart. A multiple Grammy, Dove(tm), Stellar(tm), and NAACP Image Award(tm) winner -- both on her own and in partnership with BeBe -- CeCe is also a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. CeCe's reflections offer a reassuring sense of companionship to women facing their own challenges, doubts, and hopes -- and an inspiration to keep the fires of faith burning bright.

Of course, she’s primarily a singer and so the book isn’t heavy; she also comes from a very socially conservative background (no movies, no secular music, etc, at least according to her parents’ rules) and she’s rather complacent about traditional gender roles. In other ways (music appreciation) she tries to be a little bit more open than her parents.
Some of the very simple but good writing about family and forgiveness was worth reading, and I was intrigued by her vague and accepting description of her time at a relatively socially liberal Christian group that became involved in a money scandal (PTL).
She also indirectly touches on the race question, and doesn’t pretend that things are always easy or good; she may not be an activist, but she is Black.
