Being the daughter of the Godfather of Soul--that's a category unto itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike every little girl, Yamma Brown wanted her father's attention, but fame, drugs, jail, and the complicated women in James Brown's life set the stage for an uncommon childhood. \u003ci\u003eCold Sweat\u003c\/i\u003e is about how Yamma rose to meet every challenge. Though packed with celebrity appearances ranging from Michael Jackson to Al Sharpton, \u003ci\u003eCold Sweat\u003c\/i\u003e is not just a celebrity book. It focuses on an everyday issue faced by millions of women--domestic violence--and in this book Yamma faces it in an honest and powerfully moving way. Dealing with a complex and famous father eventually took a backseat to coping with her own abusive and deceitful marriage. \u003ci\u003eCold Sweat\u003c\/i\u003e is about how Yamma got caught in the same trap as her mother, doing things in her adult life that, as a child, she'd promised herself she'd never do. But at the same time, Yamma learned valuable lessons about life from her father. The struggles she went through, both as a child and as an adult, make for a gripping read and, in the end, a profound examination of the nature of celebrity, violence, and survival.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Yamma Brown\u003c\/b\u003e is the vice president of the James Brown Family Foundation and president and founder of Daughter of Soul Productions.
