Product Description
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.

Brother or not, I'd heard about so many upcoming MJ books, it felt like yet another person jumping on the bandwagon trying to make a fast buck off the deceased. I couldn't have been more wrong. Jermaine writes with such passion and eloquence, it's clear he wrote this book for all the right reasons: to honor his brother, to share his deep love for him, and to protect his younger sibling, like any good big brother should. I've fancied myself a writer my entire life, and while I'm certainly no New York Times Bestseller, I've learned enough to know you can't write half-truths with this much passion and sincerity. It just isn't possible. Jermaine's love for Michael, and his burning desire to set the record straight, bleeds off every page of this book; (or in my case, oozes off the screen of my Kindle for Android app! ;-D ) I think part of my...

Full of wonderful insight and explanations from not only Jermaine's view, but I felt from the Jackson family itself. No wonder they have so many questions after Michael's passing! I do too! He takes you back to the beginning, middle and end of Michael's life as he experienced it and I was transfixed. Couldn't agree more with many things Jermaine brought up in this book and hope anyone who wants to know more about Michael will read it...the best book I've read so far about Michael in my estimation and I've read alot of them! 17 of 22 people found the following review helpful: Neva's Review c/o Amazon.com, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother's Eyes (Hardcover) I am 100% Satisfied with the book, You Are Not Alone, by Jermaine Jackson.
