In this shocking New York Times bestselling memoir, La Toya Jackson pays heartfelt tribute to her legendary brother Michael’s tortured soul and offers unprecedented insight into the troubled entertainer’s tragic destruction.
La Toya Jackson was always closer to Michael than anyone knew. Now, she sheds light on the intimate moments she shared with the beloved pop legend and unveils the disturbing behind-the-scenes dealings that she believes foretold his death.

Here, in vivid and candid detail, she reveals the most painful episodes of her deeply personal story and explores how anyone—regardless of fame, fortune, or status—can be trapped in a cycle of abuse. La Toya ultimately found the courage to break free, rebuild her life and career, and reconcile with her close-knit family.

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
Good book, and very intriguing! I would recommend anyone!
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.
