...> About The Book
Celine Dion has long been one of the world´s most admired performers. Her unique blend of brilliant talent and an unstinting willingness to share her life has defined her career in the public eye. With new interviews and special memorabilia, "For Keeps" will invite her fans to get to know the professional and personal parts of her life as never before. Celine is a very special collection: a combination of memoir, personal scrapbook, and looking glass into one of the world´s most admired lives. Drawing heavily from Celine´s personal archives and those of her husband and longtime manager, Rene Angelil, this book focuses on the key elements of her life, including her family, career, inspirations, courtship and marriage to Rene, show business hiatus, son Rene-Charles, and plans for the future-everything that makes her who she is. Produced in the successful and stylish format of "The Sinatra Treasures", each of Celine´s chapters will include removable facsimiles of favorite mementos, stored in vellum envelopes. Everything from Celine and Rene´s love notes and family photos to special letters and her wedding program can be examined and admired in detail. This is a remarkable opportunity to share in the unique and vital life and career of Celine. The French-Canadian author, Georges-Hebert Germain (who has already wrote on Celine on the authorized biography titled "Celine", "Celine: The Authorized Biography" and on "Ma Vie, Mon Rêve") has collaborated with Jenna Glatzer for translation on the French version titled "Pour Toujours" (meaning "Forever"), as well as complementing the French edition with his own contributions. This book features over 200 photographs, over 40,000 words, beautifully bound in this colourful collection, chronicling each significant passage of Celine´s life so far. An amazing story of a how a child from simple beginnings, now a mother and wife at the pinnacle of her career, still has the sensibility of that simple child.
...> Words Of Celine
"I went back through my personal and professional life and looked for things that stood out in my mind, things that touched my heart, moments that made a big difference in my journey, precious keepsakes", said Celine in answer to how she did the selections of different moments of her life for this book. "Working with the author Jenna was a lot of fun. We spent many nights up until 3 and 4 a.m. talking and laughing about the stories that came to mind. She´s really nice. And going through our family photos with Rene, especially choosing the ones of our son, was a very warm and loving experience!, said Celine.
