Remembering Whitney: My Story of Love, Loss, and the Night the Music Stopped by Cissy Houston, Lisa Dickey

3.0

The basic gist of this memoir is Cissy going "I had no idea what was going on with Whitney and those drugs. People told me things but I didn't believe them because I didn't see it with my own eyes." "I'm a don't take no mess kinda woman but I let my kid snort her way into an early grave. If only she would have asked me for help but she didn't." "I can't speak on that because I wasn't there." To which I say, well then what exactly was the point of the book Cissy. There was nothing in there that we didn't already know; hell, that Whitney didn't say herself in those interviews with Diane Sawyer and Oprah. The only two things I learned were

that Whitney had a miscarriage before she married Bobby and she got cut on her face that required plastic surgery

. Everything else was stuff we all knew already.
