Riveting
You walk away with a better understanding of Latoya, her family and her upbringing. I finished the book with compassion for her, her life, and yes, her brother, Michael. A great read for the beach, a plane ride, or anytime you like to read.
Great book

Ultimate Survival
I must admit I was not a La Toya fan before I read her book. I'm glad to have read her testament of her survival of brutal abuse and mind control by her then manager and ex-husband. She shares her desire to find her inner goddess voice to escape her situation and to rebuild her life and career. She writes of her faith in God and the unbelievable ability to forgive. La Toya gives a glimpse into the love of her family and her special bond with her megastar brother the late Michael Jackson. I am in awe of her strength and perseverance.
