Contemplative and private, Cissy Houston has said little
publicly about her daughter Whitney′s tragically early death. She
hasn′t spoken to the press about the funny, warm memories from her
daughter′s childhood or the lovely, quiet moments the two shared as
Whitney became a woman-much less the trying and troubling times
when Cissy and her family tried to save the superstar′s life while
it careened out of control.
Now, for the first time, Cissy will tell the unabridged and
unbelievable story of her daughter′s life as well as her own,
addressing Whitney′s brightest and darkest moments while helping
fans around the world understand the complexities of this
extraordinary star who died much too young. A legendary gospel
singer in her own right, Cissy shows how the lessons from her
musical journey helped to shape Whitney′s career-from teaching
Whitney to use her voice, to witnessing Whitney′s first experiences
in the music business, to keeping her daughter level-headed
throughout her meteoric rise to fame.
However, Cissy does not shy away from the difficult realities of
her daughter′s life.
Offering an insider′s perspective unlike any other, she sets
the record straight about Whitney, exploring both her turbulent
marriage and her misunderstood struggles with drug abuse with a
candor, honesty, and respect that have long been missing accounts
of Whitney′s life. Ultimately, Cissy goes behind the tabloid
headlines to show the true, human side of this strong, successful,
yet flawed musical icon, capturing the dramatic depths and soaring
range of an extraordinary woman, along with the pain and heartbreak
of a grieving mother as she struggles with an impossible loss.
