Special K Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 HARPERCOLLINS ACQUIRES JERMAINE JACKSON HARPERCOLLINS ACQUIRES JERMAINE JACKSON’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF LIFE WITH HIS BROTHER MICHAEL 16 March 2011 HarperCollins has acquired YOU ARE NOT ALONE: Michael, Through a Brother’s Eyes by Jermaine Jackson – the most authoritative account from inside the music dynasty, illuminating the private man, the son, the brother, the father...the unknown Michael. World Rights excluding North America were acquired by Natalie Jerome, Publishing Director for Harper Non-Fiction, from Gordon Wise at Curtis Brown UK and will be published in autumn 2011. The book will be published simultaneously in the USA by Simon & Schuster. In this story of brotherhood, Jermaine writes a faithful and loving portrait, taking fans closer to the complex heart, mind and soul of the King of Pop. It is a frank but sophisticated examination of the human not the legend, with revealing insights and no subject off limits. It is written as a full and final understanding of Michael. Jermaine was Michael’s true confidante who spoke up for him in life, and now speaks up for his memory in death. You Are Not Alone is an invitation into a rarefied world detailing Michael’s life from childhood to stardom; from his homes in Gary, Indiana, to Neverland, California; from the stage to the courts; from Jackson 5 and Motown to a global solo career and Sony. It examines his true relationships with Joseph and Katharine, and the different characters who surrounded him. We witness his private anguish during the infamous 2005 child molestation trial when Jermaine shadowed his brother through his darkest hour, forever declaring his ‘1000% innocence’. And we re-live the final weeks of his life, the politics, the AEG rehearsals, the police investigation and the trial of Dr Conrad Murray. From start to finish, this book is an expert witness to history from the inside. The end result is Michael as never seen before: raw, stripped bare, human and desperate to be understood. It will, without doubt, alter the way the world views him, humanising someone whose own fame was dehumanising. Natalie Jerome said, ‘There are very few figures in the world like Michael Jackson and there remains an enormous amount of love and a desire to understand what his life was like. Like everyone I had a perception of who Michael was, but what I've read from Jermaine so far has altered everything I had believed, and I think fans the world over are going to be surprised and moved by this book. Jermaine addresses the tough questions and reminds us that this is the story of a family. This is a once in a lifetime publication and the team at HarperCollins are delighted to be Jermaine’s publisher.’ Jermaine Jackson said, ‘We don’t want Michael’s life – or death – to be an eternal mystery. This is the truth as we know it. I have read so much about what people think they know about Michael, but this is about what really happened. I hope to make sense of the occasions when the outside world struggled to understand my brother’s world. By sitting down and sharing memories, I hope his millions of fans will see him anew, and that those who have not been so kind will find room for more compassion. Everyone has said it all about Michael and us. They cannot say anything more. Now it is our turn. The forthcoming trial of Dr Murray surrounds Michael’s death, but none of us wish for those proceedings to stand as the final word on how he is remembered. We cannot bring our brother back but we can ensure his legacy is never forgotten in a book that commemorates his life – and says the things he never got the chance to say.’ For further information: Laura Summers Publicity Director 020 83074545 begin_of_the_skype_h ighlighting 020 83074545 end_of_the_skype_hig hlighting laura.summers@harper collins.co.uk 15th March 2011 http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/News_and_Events/News/Pages/HARPERCOLLINS-ACQUIRES-JERMAINE-JACKSON%e2%80%99S-AUTOBIOGRAPHY-OF-LIFE-WITH-HIS-BROTHER-MICHAEL.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
