Starting Over by LaToya Jackson Book Summary

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. . .

Not truthful. LaToya was the outcast of the Jackson family, and now she's trying to claim that she was close to Michael when Janet was? Read a history book!!!

THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN!. EVER..

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.

Didn't Like. The book had me crying-until a couple chapters later all the time she could have left, The Jackson Family reach out over and over yet she kept saying he made me do this, he force me in public to do that, I'm sorry I read true stories about children risk their life to find helps way from their own parents. Sound like she want this book to be a movie on Lifetime. Ps if my husband just got threw beating me and the cops question me like in the book,or letting me use the phone talking to family I woulda been screaming to the high heaven.

TOP FIVE BOOK EVER READ!!. Anyone who has ever had something negative to say about Latoya and or The Jackson Family should take the time to read this book. You will have a different understanding of truly what good people they are with the same obstacles the average person goes through. Hopefully after finishing the book you will think twice about being so quick to judge. Bravo Latoya!!

It was good. It gave a insight on being Michael's jackson older sister, This book gives you a different perspective on her life & Michael's as well! I think Latoya jackson had an interesting life, she experienced lots of tribulations (although some sounded embellished with a touch of over exaggeration) However it's her story so I'm gonna let her tell it,therefor if all of her information is true, She is very strong(most people probably would had committed suicide) It's also inspiring how she triumphed over domestic violence, a controlling spouse, public humiliation and a extremely bad situation in general (although it shouldn't had took her as long as she did to finally move on to a healthier lifestyle by getting away from Gordon) which makes her lucky that he didn't hit her one time to many resulting in the lost of her life!! So I said all that to say this, Miss Jackson's book is something I'd recommend to a friend! IN LOVING MEMORY OF MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON, MAY THE KING OF POP REST IN PARADISE!!

lol o. Awsome

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

Starting over. I was simply consumed with this book. I could not put it down. I have always been intrigued with the Jackson family but especially since Michael died. My heart was broken when I heard the news, it was one of those moments when you remember where you were, who you were with and what you were doing. I became consumed with all the news coverage, as did my then 8 year old son. He now is OBSESSED with Michael Jackson as anyone who knows him will attest to that fact. I took him to see This Is It. I know that you, La Toya did not approve of the film, but as fans, we so appreciate having those last moments of him to watch anytime we want. Thank you for sharing your heart and your life, and confirming what so many of us believe to be true about the conspiracy. I am so sorry you endured such horrendous abuse at the hands of Jack Gordon. I am so glad you made it out alive! FABULOUS autobiography! I'm just sorry I've finished it. H. Myers

A great read! Good story...Latoya. I truly enjoyed this book. LaToya shared so much. She has so much courage, love, and kindness in her.

Thank you, LaToya!. Thank you for sharing your story. This book is phenomenal and YOU ARE RESILIENT! The truth will always prevail. God Bless.❤️

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.
