Remembering Whitney

My Story of Love, Loss, and the Night the Music Stopped

De: Cissy Houston

Narrado por: Robin Miles

The definitive account of Whitney Houston’s astonishing life, ground-breaking career, and tragic death — complete with never-before-seen photographs — from the only one who truly knows the story behind the headlines: her mother, Cissy Houston.

Cissy has said little publicly about Whitney’s heart-breaking death. Now, for the first time, she opens up and shares the unbelievable story of her daughter’s life, as well as her own, and addresses Whitney’s brightest and darkest moments.

A legendary Grammy Award–winning gospel singer in her own right, Cissy Houston shows how the lessons from her own musical journey helped to shape Whitney’s career — from teaching Whitney to use her voice, to keeping her level-headed throughout her meteoric rise to fame.

With candor and respect, she sets the record straight about Whitney, exploring both her turbulent marriage and her misunderstood struggles with drug abuse. Cissy goes behind the tabloid headlines to show fans around the world the true, human side of a strong, successful — yet flawed — musical icon who died much too young.

Heart felt

While reading this book it really captivated me. I cried and at the end I found peace, my heart ached for Whitney's MoM but she is courages for telling her story.

Tears

Oh wow! I couldn't help but cry while listening to this book. I am really struggling to review this personal story of a mother's love and tragic loss! This is truly a beautiful story even though it breaks my heart.

Great Stories About Spiritual & Fascinating People

Very well-written memoir. Doubt anyone could really hope to know anything of value about the entertainer Whitney Houston without understanding her roots. Her mother is obviously a force of nature. She carried a lot of people through good and bad times. She was the rock in the family and obviously, her family, friends, and co-workers depended on her performance in the world in every type of theater. I doubt from reading the book she ever really had someone she herself could lean on. She obviously never had any of the support systems she carefully constructed for her daughter. Her heartbreaks and losses are very real and human. She is the woman every woman wants and needs to have as a friend. Her abilities and purposes at evolution were supernatural. A competent swimmer in a "sink or swim" world. Always seeking higher standards in professionalism and life. Don't deny yourself the pleasure of reading this book and listening to her story. It is unique and not one you will forget you heard. I hope the red carpet always rolls out for her. I loved the narrator's voice and storytelling, Superb. If you lived in the entertainment business for any time period and lived on the East Coast, all the things that are not said in this book, are also easy to understand. You can hear it all between the lines that were never written.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a great read! I loved it and will definitely read it over and over again.

This is a very touching story told from a mother's perspective. I was surprised at how much information Mrs. Houston shared in the book about her daughter; she held nothing back. I have much respect for Mrs. Houston and I am still sorry for her loss.

An honest and painful and from the heart

I loved Cissy's story about her life and the life of her beloved daughter Whitney Houston. it gave me a better insight of the dynamics of their love and relationship with one another and gave me a better understanding of who they both were.
