As an expert in the Entertainment industry, Rivera's former manager possesses unique insights on «La Diva de la Banda» which he acquired working by her side for almost ten years, helping her to settle many of her successful contracts. This strong relationship turned Pete into the singer's confidant, who shared with him personal issues, which she never told anyone else. In "Her Name Was Dolores, The Jenn I Knew" – Salgado and Vázquez deal with the details and events until now, unknown to the public: betrayals and sorrows that Jenni Rivera faced by close and dear people for the very first time are exposed in the pages of this book.

"Her Name Was Dolores" is a window into the life and death of one of the most recognized and successful Banda and Ranchero artists in history. The authors discuss personal issues that affected Jenni's life, as well as Chiquis' (her daughter) and Esteban's (her husband). They help their readers understand some of Jenni's postings on social media, and disclose some of the characters in her life, whose identities were unknown until now. Likewise, they reveal the true, beautiful but complex and nontraditional mother-to-daughter relationship with Chiquis. Salgado and Vázquez unveil for their readers the true Dolores Janney Rivera, allowing the heart of the woman, mother and philanthropist to be seen, so distant from the persona on stage.
