Synopsis

This sophisticated, no-holds-barred biography of Michael Jackson by his brother Jermaine is filled with keen insight, rich anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes detail.

Older than Michael by four years, 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.” From their shared childhood and the Jackson 5 years through Michael’s phenomenal solo career, his loves, his suffering, and his tragic end, 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 the disturbing developments in the days leading up to Michael’s death.

But where previous works have presented only thin versions of a media construct, Jermaine 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.

His hope is to foster a true and final understanding of Michael: who he was, what he was, and what shaped him.

Goodreads review by Kerry on January 24, 2021

Considering that I initially resisted buying Jermaine's book because of my feelings towards some of Michael's siblings and some things done and said since his tragic passing, I can't recommend You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother's Eyes highly enough to other MJ fans. This is a loving tribut......more

I received the new UK paperback edition of Jermaine's book "You Are Not Alone" from Amazon UK today and had to read the new final chapter... then had to stop because I didn't want to burst into tears in the office (believe me, it's happened!)

Goodreads review by wade on January 02, 2013

Let me begin by saying I never was a Jackson 5 or Michael Jackson fan. I liked a few of their songs but they never "floated my boat". That said, I came into reading this book thinking it would be a totally biased "puff piece." It was not. Jermaine Jackson was biased but in a way that a brother woul......more

Goodreads review by Virginia on June 13, 2017

This is undoubtably the best "biography" on Michael that I have ever read. Michael's most dear brother, Jermaine, has given us the most endearing, honest and eye-opening account on the shelves to date (and I suspect that this will be the most widely read and lasting). Yes it's that good. From the mo......more
