Summary
In addition to the balancing act of juggling an all-consuming music career and her family, TLC's Tionne has struggled with sickle-cell disease since she was a young girl - a debilitating and incurable disease that can render her unable to perform, walk, or even breathe.
A Sick Life chronicles Tionne's journey from a childhood spent in and out of the hospital, told she wouldn't live to see 30 or have children, to becoming the superstar musician who is still living out her life's dream of performing. For the first time, Tionne will tell her full life story - the diagnosis, the tumultuous rise to fame, the life in the spotlight, and the hard-fought advocacy work. Through Tionne's tough, funny, tell-it-like-it-is voice, you'll see how the extraordinary singer and advocate found the inner strength, grit, and determination to live her dream - despite her often unpredictable and demanding health issues.
She dives deep into never-before-told TLC stories, including accounts of her friendship with Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes and the tragedy of her death. Tionne's unvarnished discussion of her disease, unending strength, and ability to power through the odds is a story like no other.

Heart felt and raw, fantastic!
I see Tionne "T-boz" Watkins in so many new ways after this book. I knew she was always strong but I always felt that she had it all, and being famous would make her life more comfortable.... Wow was I wrong. This woman is so inspirational and what ever life throws at her she fight it head on. this book demonstrated what a beautiful mind Tionne "t-boz" Watkins has and is a fantastic read.

Tionne
Really enjoyed this story. Even if I’ve never heard of this lady or band. Probably because I’m from the UK. But she has an incredible life story.

Inspirational, Motivational
Must read.. this has made me realise that we shouldn't take anything for granted and should really push ourselves to the limit. This book makes you burst out with laughter on a busy underground train in London , cry..stop and think, motivates you to keep going, makes you realise that we are responsible for our own health and to research consultants before make them operate on you( this book just came just on time for me). If you need to laugh and be motivated this is the book for you.

A great story of a strong Lady
I didn't know much about this lady, other than a few songs from my youth. It's a story of never giving up and the love of friendship. Thank you T boz x

Excellent
A well written and read book. Thoroughly enjoyed it and feel a lot more educated on sickle cell disease. I love the confidence T-Boz has held throughout her life knowing that she would always win! I love the book and love T-Boz/Tionne even more.x
