About this ebook

Shocking new revelations emerge about superstar Whitney Houston and her only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, in #1 New York Times bestselling author Ian Halperin’s account of their tumultuous lives.

On July 26, 2015, after nearly six months in a coma, Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of musical megastars Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, tragically passed away at the age of twenty-two. Ever since she was found facedown and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta home, a media frenzy of harrowing rumors and accusations swirled, particularly around Bobbi Kristina’s longtime boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who has been a part of the family since Whitney took him in as a teenager.

But #1 New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Ian Halperin takes the story much, much further—back to the early days of Whitney’s career, exploring the devastating, self-destructive secrets that plagued the singer and led Whitney—and subsequently her daughter—down a dark and dangerous road.

Drawing on evidence from trusted Houston family members, friends, and other inside sources, Halperin paints a portrait of Bobbi Kristina’s downward spiral following her mother’s death, including drug abuse and abusive relationships. How did Bobbi Kristina end up unconscious in a bathtub, almost exactly three years after her mother’s mysterious death? What was her relationship with Nick Gordon really like? How did a childhood in the spotlight as the daughter of controversial pop royalty lead to her troubling fate? Halperin offers readers a fascinating and candid behind-the-scenes look at the glamorous world, personal demons, and never-before-told life of Bobbi Kristina Brown.

    The book was an interesting read, but it really should have been broken into two books. The author's long discussion of homophobia in the entertainment industry and the way it impacts gay, lesbian, and bisexual performers should be its own book. This book should have focused on the demise of Bobbi Kristina Brown, who died under suspicious circumstances. Whitney Houston's untimely death was accidental.

    Terrible... He used way way too much of Cissy Houston's book for his material. He also called Dionne Warwick, Whitney's Aunt. Even casual fans know they are first cousins. Very poorly researched.

    The book jumps around a lot. Goes off subject to his other projects, lots of wispy character references leading nowhere and most irritating: no real resolution of the story. Keep up if you can.
