By the late 1970s, Michael Jackson was eager to see how far his talent could take him—alone, without his brothers. It was an exciting dream for Michael, but also a scary one. He wasn’t sure he was ready for some of the harsh realities of adulthood, let alone the music industry. “I was raised on the stage and that’s where I’m comfortable,” he said in a 1983 interview. “Everything else is foreign to me.” Ready or not, Michael’s ambition drove him forward. He wanted to do something amazing, something spectacular, something that would make people remember the name Michael Jackson forever. That vision eventually led to Thriller.

A powerful chronicle of the sixteen weeks leading up to King of Pop Michael Jackson’s death.
Michael Jackson’s final months were like the rest of his short and legendary life: filled with deep lows and soaring highs, a constant hunt for privacy, and the pressure and fame that made him socially fragile and almost — ultimately — unable to live.
With the insight and compassion that he brought to his bestselling story of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s final year, Tavis Smiley provides a glimpse into the superstar’s life in this emotional, honest, yet celebratory book. Readers will witness Jackson’s campaign to recharge his career — hiring and firing managers and advisors, turning to and away from family members, fighting depression and drug dependency — while his one goal remained: to mount the most spectacular series of shows the world had ever seen. Before You Judge Me is a humanizing look at Jackson’s last days.

More than seven years after his death, Michael Jackson continues to fascinate the world. Shana Mangatal was one of Jackson’s constant and true rocks of stability for nearly two decades. Their relationship was quiet and sweet and real—a closely guarded secret known only to a few trusted employees and friends. Shana is now coming forward to tell their love story. Sometimes strange, sometimes surprising, always fascinating, this is the story that Jackson fans have been waiting for.
During her seven years working for Michael’s personal manager during the prolific period of the 1990s, Shana witnessed the scandals and the lawsuits, the release of groundbreaking albums and the subsequent world tours, the making of big-budget short films, and the addictions. It was through this business relationship that their trust and love for each other grew. Shana kept a meticulous diary throughout it all. Her story is rich with every little detail.
Michael and Me entertains and inspires, but above all, Shana continues to treat Michael (and his legacy) with respect. This is not an exploitative tell-all but rather a book that shows the side of Michael people never knew. In it, Shana paints a more intimate picture of this beloved yet very misunderstood man.
