Well written
LaToya has written a very compelling book that sheds new light on the circumstances surrounding Michael's death. The book also paints a very vivid picture of what life was like for her in "captivity" for nearly a decade! I must admit I took a chance on buying this book thinking it may be full of crazy talk......what I found instead, was that LaToya is an extremely intelligent woman who has been to hell and back. My heart goes out to the entire family for the awful ways they've been exploited and taken advantage of by the greed of others in the business. Shame on them! LaToya, never give up your quest for the truth!! I admire your courage, honesty, and strength. This must be tearing you up inside. Lastly, thank you for showing us who you REALLY are, outside of what Gordon tried to make you out to be. You are a beautiful person and I see you as you are now. My prayers are with you for the truth to surface while you continue your journey for both yourself, and your beautiful brother Michael.
