&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;&10;Desmond Child is the ultimate&10;hitmaker, contributing to some of the biggest smash global hits that helped ignite&10;the success of music icons KISS, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Ricky&10;Martin, Katy Perry, and countless others. In&160;Livin' On A Prayer, he&10;reveals how he climbed his way to the top and beyond amid extraordinary&10;circumstances and shares his very personal and unbelievable journey that shaped&10;him into an artist of international renown.&10;&10;For over half a century,&10;Desmond Child has collaborated with the world&8217;s most celebrated artists&10;creating timeless hits, such as Bon Jovi&8217;s Livin' On A Prayer and &8220;You Give&10;Love A Bad Name&8221; as well as Ricky Martin&8217;s &8220;Livin&8217; La Vida Loca&8221; and &8220;The Cup&10;Of Life&8221; amongst his vast catalog. But in&160;Livin&8217; On A Prayer,&10;Desmond himself takes center stage to share his transformational story from&10;misfit outsider to cultural pacesetter.&10;&10;In collaboration with&10;legendary music biographer David Ritz, Child recounts his unconventional&10;upbringing as his colorful family fled Cuba in the 1960s and fell into poverty.&10;He details his shocking discovery at age 18 that the man he called &8220;dad&8221; was&10;not his biological father after all, and he courageously bares his soul about&10;navigating the trials of being a Latino gay man in the macho world of rock and&10;roll.
