Description
David Roberts was the bodyguard who knew Whitney Houston best. Hired in 1988 for her UK tour, Roberts had worked with diplomats and Fortune 500 clients, but nothing could have prepared him for the pop star's warmth and generosity. As he traveled the globe with Houston, Roberts witnessed the highs and lows of her life, including the birth of her daughter Bobbi Kristina. Roberts's memoir reveals intimate moments with Houston, as well as the challenges she faced, including the pressures of fame and the toll it took on her health. The book offers a unique perspective on Houston's life, one that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. With unflinching honesty, Roberts shares his experiences, including the moments when those closest to her failed to support her. This memoir is a candid and poignant look at the life of one of the world's most beloved stars, told by the man who knew her best.
