libsta81;3398277 said:Ok i'm a little confused...the premise of this book is about La Toya's life when she was estranged from her family..the only reason she mentions Michael and her family is to tie in with how she ended her estrangement with her family and how she thought Michael might have been controlled like she was in light of his death right?..Michael is NOT the topic of the book...in an interview she said she wrote the book so that victims of domestic violence would have a voice and see that they are not the only ones suffering..what has that got to do with michael?
Why is everybody acting like the book is all about Michael? Why give it the title Starting Over if it is about Michael anyway?..that makes no sense! If the book however is about how she overcame her shattered life due to domestic violence, and is "starting over" with her family and the public then that makes sense..
You did not have to write about your confusion..it is quite EVIDENT.
Why exactly is Michael's picture on the book if by any chance the book isn't about him? did you ACTUALLY read the synopsis?....It is all about MJ.
What about reading the info out there before commenting... huh? Amazon is your friend.
You do the math...Product Description
La Toya Jackson was always closer to Michael than anyone knew. In this heartfelt memoir, she pays tribute to his tortured soul—revealing the intimate moments she shared with the deeply troubled pop legend. The first sibling to arrive at the hospital after Michael was rushed there, and the informant on his death certificate, La Toya noticed suspicious details and demanded a second autopsy. For the first time, she unveils shocking behind-the-scenes dealings that she believes led to her brother’s death, and she provides unprecedented insight into the destruction of one of the most dynamic artist/performers in history.
In an account sure to send shock waves around the globe, La Toya sheds new light on the dynamics of the Jackson family and the curtain of secrecy and intrigue that has surrounded her brother Michael, and the rest of the Jackson children, since they became stars in the ’60s and ’70s. She explains her estrangement from— and gradual reconciliation with—one of America’s most famous and close-knit families.
Like Michael, La Toya experienced an upbringing that made her vulnerable to exploitation, and her own journey led to hell and back at the hands of her former manager and husband, Jack Gordon. Sharing with honesty and an open heart some of the most painful episodes of her life story, La Toya reveals how anyone—regardless of fame, fortune, or status—can be trapped in a cycle of abuse, and how she was able to find the courage to rebuild her shattered sense of self, her career, and her relationship with her family, and to finally break free.
This tale will touch the hearts of the millions who are fans of the Jackson family’s music as well as those who have ever shared a special relationship with a sibling. Not just the story of the world’s most renowned family, this memoir will inspire anyone who feels as if their life has fallen apart and there’s nowhere to go, unless they too can learn to truly start over. . .
