About the Author Ky-Mani Marley, is a Grammy nominated reggae-music artist, film actor and son to legendary reggae icon Bob Marley. Born in Falmouth, Jamaica in 1976, his road to the world stage was wrought with challenge and even poverty growing up on the streets of Miami, Florida. Estranged to his 10 other siblings and family fortune early in his life, Ky-Mani fatefully discovered his inherent musical talent and arose to record 4 critically acclaimed albums, including the mega-hit entitled "Dear Dad". Marley now is a father, family-man and sought-after reggae artist traveling to all corners of the world doing no l
"Dear Marley Family" according to Jeff. I read this in about a week leading up to the Marley documentary that is now out. I have been a Bob Marley fan for a very long time, and follow old and current Marley (family) and Wailers news as it comes. I give credit to Ky-Mani for writing this book.

It was not really a letter to his father. I am still curious about a lot of things. I read that his older brother Rohan received a share of his father's estate and he was an "illegitimate" son. I'm also curious as to why his mother didn't pursue some kind of legal action. Too many unanswered questions in the book. It was more of a venting than a letter to his dad.
