Honest and heartbreaking, a mother's story of tears, joy, and her greatest love of all: her daughter, Whitney

On the eve of the 2012 Grammy Awards, the world learned of a stunning tragedy: Whitney Houston, unquestionably one of the most remarkable and powerful voices in all of music, had been silenced forever. Over the weeks and months that followed, family, friends, and fans alike tried to understand how such a magnificent talent and beautiful soul could have been taken so early and so unexpectedly. Glamorous and approachable, captivating and sweet, Whitney had long ago won the hearts of America, but in recent years her tumultuous personal life had grabbed as many headlines as her soaring vocal talents. Her sudden death left behind not only a legacy of brilliance, but also painful questions with no easy answers.

Now, for the first time, the beloved superstar's mother, Cissy Houston—a gospel legend in her own right—relates the full, astonishing scope of the pop icon's life and career. From Whitney's earliest days singing in the church choir to her rapid ascent to the pinnacles of music stardom, from her string of number-one hits to her topping the Hollywood box office, Cissy recounts her daughter's journey to becoming one of the most popular and successful artists of all time. Setting the record straight, Cissy also speaks candidly about Whitney's struggles in the limelight, revealing the truth about her turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown, her public attempts to regain her celebrated voice, and the battle with drugs that ultimately proved too much.

In this poignant and tender tribute to her "Nippy", Cissy summons all her strength to reveal not only Whitney the superstar, but also Whitney as a sweet girl, a bright-eyed young woman, and a deeply caring mother. Complete with never-before-seen family photographs, Remembering Whitney is an intimate, heartfelt portrait of one of our most revered artists, from the woman who cherished her most.

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.

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.

Great Stories About Spiritual & Fascinating People

I Thank Mrs. Huston for sharing her story of Love, joy and pain. I laughed with her and cried with her as she told her story. Thank you once again for sharing your daughter ❤ with the world again.
she definitely was a beautiful soul gone too soon. your last page of the book had me sobbing 😭. I couldn't begin to understand the pain as you summed it 💔 up as "God's Plan" and your exceptional ♥ love to except his plan. I truly believe that we are all here for a reason and seasons. May the Lord continue to keep you strong and continue to bless you for letting your testimony be medicine for someone else!!

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.

Very Touching Story
