Synopsis

Here is the Whitney only family would know... Somewhere outside the glare of the concert spotlights... behind the tawdry entertainment news headlines... beyond the crush of the scandal-seeking paparazzi... lies the truth about Whitney Houston. And few individuals are better qualified to show us that complicated, funny, generous, troubled, extremely loyal Whitney than the friend she called "brother," Bebe Winans. With obvious affection, yet remarkable transparency, Winans opens a window into their 28 years of friendship and family closeness to offer a view of the Whitney only a handful of people knew - the Whitney beyond The Voice. The entertainment press incessantly told us what Whitney did. Now, thanks to this tender, honest account, we understand what she thought and felt. Winans' audio book is a beautifully honest portrait of this astonishingly gifted woman, offering tremendous inspiration and a deeper understanding of human nature and God's grace.

What a strange book. I think the purpose of it was to desperately convince us that Whitney was a heaven-bound backsliding Christian with a great but faulty heart and dangerous passions (think of King David and his many horrendous exploits). I definitely understand that this memoir might help Bebe an......more

Goodreads review by Michael

Whitney Houston will always be remembered of having the greatest voices I have ever heard. Angelic,powerful, distant and incomparable, few can intimate but never duplicate her accomplishments. Despite all of her immediate success, she was still a human being that had insecurities about fame and live......more
