Non-Fiction Memoir
Jermaine Jackson—older than Michael by four years—offers a
keenly observed memoir tracing his brother’s life starting
from their shared childhood and extending through the
Jackson 5 years, Michael’s phenomenal solo career, his
loves, his suffering, and his tragic end. It is a
sophisticated, no-holds-barred examination of the man, aimed
at fostering a true and final understanding of who he was,
why he was, and what shaped him. 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.” 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 disturbing developments in the days leading up to
Michael’s death. But where previous works have presented
only thin versions of a media construct, he 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. Filled with keen insight, rich in anecdotes and
behind-the-scenes detail, You Are Not Alone is the book for
any true Michael Jackson fan and for anyone trying to make
sense of the artist whose death was so premature.
