Aaliyah (The Divas) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Diamond, India, Veronique, and Aaliyah are fifteen-year-old high school sophomores on their way to becoming the hottest new group to hit gospel music—The Divas. That is, if they win the team talent competition. Now, the fourth book in the series follows Aaliyah, as she comes face to face with a secret from her past..Straight-A student and “brainiac” of the group, Aaliyah is an only child living with her father, the deputy Chief of Police in Los Angeles. Even though Aaliyah isn’t interested in singing, she’s shown a remarkable, natural talent since childhood. It takes a bit of persuading to get Aaliyah to be a part of the Divas, but she gives in, and joins the group to be close to her friends. During one of their rehearsals, the girls hear a song by Zena, a successful African American singer. All the other girls are inspired and imagine themselves being as successful one day—except for Aaliyah, who turns off the CD and grumbles that they can find a better role model. Then, when Aaliyah learns that Zena will be attending their performance—accompanied by her father—her whole world comes crashing down. And all of her friends, who’d been told that Aaliyah’s mother died when she was a baby, suddenly realize where her natural singing ability came from….

Aaliyiah was a great five star Divine Diva book. Aaliyiah, who is a part of the divine diva's with her 3 BFF's. Aaliyiah is one of the 4 divine diva's, who is smart, pretty and can sing. With the Divine Diva's rising up they get a professional mentor, Zena. Just so happens Zena turns out to be Aaliyiah's mother but everyone thought Zena was dead---not. Zena just picked her career over her marriage and motherhood. Soon Zena makes it known to Aaliyah that she wants to be a part of her life, but Aaliyah is not having it. Now Aaliyah might have to put up with Zena for the Diva's but she might walk out. Join Aaliyiah on a trail of forgiveness and heartbreak. I love the Divine Diva's by Ms. Murray.
The Divas: Aaliyah by Victoria Christopher Murray is by far my favorite of The Divas series. Diamond, India and Veronique's volumes were all great stories that entertained and enlightened, but there was something about Aaliyah that resonated with me. The fact that becoming a superstar was secondary to her and her focus was more on becoming a nuclear physicist, or maybe that she seemed so grounded, yet fun-loving. Aaliyah has basically gone along with her friends in their desire to become teen Christian singing sensations. She has an awesome voice and loves singing but she has other interests. The one thing she never had, however, was her mother. Her mother, Zena, had chosen to pursue a singing career and left Aaliyah with her father. As far as anyone knows, Zena is dead. So, what will happen when Zena shows up to become musical mentor to The Divas?Ms. Christopher-Murray does an outstanding job of showing how a young woman feels when the person she loved most reenters her life. She allows Aaliyah to be angry and stubborn. She also shows through Aaliyah's growth how the decisions we make impact those around us. Even with the lessons, The Divas: Aaliyah is still a fun book that all teens should read and enjoy. I also recommend the entire series to all readers, the books are simply wonderful.Angelia Vernon MenchanAPOOO BookClub

I rated this book very high because it is one of the best self help books that is written and available on the market for this century. This book has helped not only me, but it has been a tremendous help to the members of my church. I would recommend this book to everyone that wants to increase and improve their spiritual health.
My daughter absolutely loved the book great for teens! Talks about what teens really go through and tells them what actions they should take!!
