Chiquis Rivera 'Forgiveness' Book Tour: 'La Malquerida' Singer Is Surprised With Flowers at Book Signing [Watch]
Chiquis Rivera is on tour promoting her new memoir, "Forgiveness."
The book explains some of Rivera's painful moments growing up and explains the relationship between her and her mother, the late singer Jenni Rivera.
"More than anything, I feel like this book has been a form of therapy for me, a way of healing, and I want that to be what readers feel," Chiquis told NBC News last week during a tour stop in New York. "It's not to clear up what has been said about me, although it has had an impact on me, but it's more of my journey to forgiveness."
The book gives Chiquis a chance to detail the sexual abuse she suffered from her father, Jose Trinidad Marin. She also tells readers that she was also sexually abused by an unnamed woman.
One of Chiquis' fans surprised her with some flowers and posted Chiquis' reaction in an Instagram video. She reacted with excitement.

The book explains that Chiquis' relationship with her mother became damaged when Jenni accused her of having an affair with her stepfather, Esteban Loaiza. The mother and daughter never reconciled their relationship before Jenni's tragic death in December 2012, but Chiquis thinks her mother would be proud of her today, NBC News reported.
