"On January 31, 2015, Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of musical megastars Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found facedown and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta home. Harrowing rumors and accusations ensued, particularly around Bobbi Kristina's longtime boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who has been a part of the family since Whitney took him in as a teenager. Investigative journalist Ian Halperin takes the story much, much further -- back to the early days of Whitney's career, exploring the devastating, self-destructive secrets that plagued the singer and led Whitney -- and now her daughter -- down a dark and dangerous road. Halperin paints a portrait of Bobbi Kristina's downward spiral following her mother's death, including drug abuse and abusive relationships. How did Bobbi Kristina die, almost exactly three years after her mother's mysterious death? What was her relationship with Nick Gordon really like? How did a childhood in the spotlight as the daughter of controversial pop royalty lead to her troubling fate? A behind-the-scenes look at the glamorous world, personal demons, and never-before-told life of Bobbi Kristina Brown"--Provided by publisher.
