Whitney Houston: 1963-2012: We Will Always Love You

Following the tragic and sudden death of Whitney Houston, author James Robert Parish's updated biography takes a look at the amazing career of the superstar and her tumultuous life.

Whitney Houston burst onto the international music scene in 1985 with her début album, winning a Grammy Award for the single "Saving All My Love For You." After that, the acclaimed artist released only a limited amount of new material, yet her preeminence in the industry and her enormous popularity with music fans was unwavering.

This comprehensive biography reflects on the extraordinary journey which took the controversial personality from a problematic childhood in a broken New Jersey home, to becoming the talented protégée of powerful Arista producer Clive Davis, to the height of her diva days mired with peculiar behavior and drug abuse.

Parish explains how the shy, pretty young girl from a devoutly religious background turned into the subject of lurid tabloid gossip, much of it concerning her turbulent relationship with Bobby Brown, and pays tribute to her incredible talent and legacy.

 “God gave us a gift in Whitney and she gave us her best, despite what stories are told. We will wear a breastplate of armor for Whitney and that's what friends are for. In the spirit of Whitney's "I Go To The Rock”: “On Christ the solid rock I stand.. all other ground is sinking sand." Let's just be peaceful in all of this.”— This made for TV movie is certainly not a trailer to Whitney's life story:

Fans worldwide identified with the artistry of Whitney Houston and mourned her death, but none of them can claim the access or intimacy shared by "Cissy" Houston. Until now, the singer's mother has not written or spoken about the full story of her daughter's life, rise to fame, drug abuse, and tragic demise. Thus, her Remembering Whitney becomes both an Emmy winning-performer's heartfelt memoir about a beloved, world-famous daughter and a unique eyewitness view of an icon in rapid decline.

 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.
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.

The Night the Music Stopped, the world lost one of the most beautiful voices, an extraordinarily beautiful and charitable woman. A mother's story of tears, joy, and her greatest love of all, Whitney.

Wild; “The best thing you can possibly do with your life...”

Bereaved after the death of her mother and recovering from a bad relationship and a flirtation with heroin, Cheryl Strayed set out to walk the entire length of the Pacific Coast Trail. Years later, she wrote a memoir about her journey: Wild, which turned into an unlikely bestseller. Now the little book that blew up is about to become the film of the season, as Reese Witherspoon steps into Strayed’s hiking boots for Wild‘s cinematic adaptation. If the trailer’s any indication, it looks to be a faithful take on Strayed’s struggle to claw her way up from her own personal rock-bottom. Strayed’s book is the memoir to read this season.

The official movie tie-in edition to the major motion picture, starring Reese Witherspoon and based on this sensational #1 New York Times Bestseller.

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life.

With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
