Moehringer, New York Times bestselling author of The Tender Bar I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings meets Educated in this harrowing, deeply hopeful memoir of family, faith and the power of books—from acclaimed journalist and human rights activist Goldie Taylor Aunt Gerald takes in anyone who asks, but the conditions are harsh. For her young niece Goldie Taylor, abandoned by her mother and coping with trauma of her own, life in Gerald’s East St. Louis comes with nothing but a threadbare blanket on the living room floor. But amid the pain and anguish, Goldie discovers a secret. She can find kinship among writers like James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. She can find hope in a nurturing teacher who helps her find her voice. And books, she realizes, can save her life. Goldie Taylor's debut memoir shines a light on the strictures of race, class and gender in a post–Jim Crow America while offering a nuanced, empathetic portrait of a family in a pitched battle for its very soul. Profoundly moving, exquisitely rendered and ultimately uplifting, The Love You Save is a story about hidden strength, perseverance against unimaginable odds, the beauty and pain of girlhood, and the power of the written word.

Download or read book You Are Not Alone written by Jermaine Jackson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, an intimate, loving portrait of Michael Jackson--Jermaine Jackson illuminates the private man like never before and offers unrivaled access into a rarefied world. 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, what 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." He 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, 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. Now with an emotional afterword addressing 2011's dramatic Conrad Murray trial, this biography is filled with keen insight, rich 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.

Download or read book The Love He Saved written by Carol Denise Mitchell and published by CDMBOOKS. This book was released on with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frankie Mae Tyson was in love. She loved Michael Jackson for as long as she could remember, and she had always dreamed of meeting him. One day, while driving down the Santa Monica freeway, 20-year-old Frankie saw a large, flashy limousine. There wasn't a doubt in her mind; it was Michael Jackson. They flirted as they drove down the highway. Frankie Mae had never been a popular girl. In school, the boys had made fun of her, but Michael Jackson saw her picture in a vacant store window before he met her, and he saw the plain girl in a special light. He cared about her. She cared about him, and they were both successful in keeping their union secret from the world. He truly loved her. She had self-confidence after meeting Jackson, and she made it clear to him from the start that she did not want anything but his love. For many years, Frankie refused to accept Michael's attempts to free her from the ghetto. Michael and Frankie were careful to keep their relationship a secret from Oprah and the world, as Michael used doubles to cover for him when he was with his secret love, Frankie Mae. He even surprised her one day when, just hours before his famous Moonwalk on Motown 25, he attended her Security Guard of the Month Award ceremony. "As Michael watched me through a peephole that day, I was proud of him for always supporting me, and I was stunned to see the determination of opportunists and the media to bring Michael Jackson down." "When you love a man as much as I love Michael, death can be a surreal thing to go through. I am not going to take my life; I am going to live my life in memory of Michael Jackson. I am not worried, for he knows that I will be with him one day, as I promised."
