Supernova: The Extraordinary Life of Lisa "Left Eye" LopesLisa "Left Eye" Lopes was the most enigmatic and groundbreaking member of the iconic R&B group TLC. This unvarnished biography pulls back the curtain on her trailblazing artistry, tumultuous personal life, and tragic death at just 30 years old.

From her hardscrabble upbringing to her unmistakable style that smashed beauty standards, Lopes lived as one of the first true individuals in mainstream music. Her boundary-pushing antics, ranging from wearing a condom over her eye to burning down her boyfriend's house, earned her a reputation as rap's wildest woman.

But behind the manufactured rambunctiousness was a supremely gifted songwriter, rapper and vocalist yearning for authenticity. This book provides a sensitive portrayal of her struggles with abusive relationships, addiction, and the psychological turmoil caused by her complicated rise to fame.

Featuring original interviews with her closest collaborators, friends and family members, it's an empathetic portrayal of a misunderstood genius whose supernova burned far too briefly. .
