You Are Not Alone: Michael: Through a Brother's Eyes

By Jermaine Jackson

Book Overview

This sophisticated, no-holds-barred biography of Michael Jackson by his brother Jermaine is filled with keen insight, rich anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes detail.

Older than Michael by four years, Jermaine knows the real Michael as only a brother can. In this raw, honest, and poignant account, he reveals Michael the private person, not Michael "the King of Pop." From their shared childhood and the Jackson 5 years through Michael's phenomenal solo career, his loves, his suffering, and his tragic end, Jermaine doesn't flinch from tackling the tough issues: the torrid press, the scandals, the allegations, the court cases, the internal politics, the ill-fated This Is It tour, and the disturbing developments in the days leading up to Michael's death.

But where previous works have presented only thin versions of a media construct, Jermaine provides a rare glimpse into the complex heart, mind, and soul of a brilliant but sometimes troubled entertainer. As a witness to history on the inside, Jermaine is the only person qualified to deliver the real Michael and reveal what made him tick: his private opinions and unseen emotions through the most headline-making episodes of his life.

His hope is to foster a true and final understanding of Michael: who he was, what he was, and what shaped him.

Great book!

I loved this book and I'm glad I decided to read this particular book about Michael first. I have purchased 4 other books by others close to him. The more I read, the more I loved him. This book had me in tears several times and for the entire last 2 or 3 chapters. I recommend it to any fan. By the way, thanks Jermaine.
