Protecting Whitney : the memoir of her bodyguard / David Roberts.
"David Roberts was hired in 1988 to provide security for the UK portion of Whitney Houston's Moment of Truth world tour. Accustomed to working for diplomats and Fortune 500 clients, Roberts had reservations about working with a pop star. But from the moment they met at Heathrow Airport, Houston's heart of gold won him over. Roberts would work for Houston for seven years as her career soared to its pinnacle. His memoir reveals heartwarming anecdotes of life with one of the world's most recognizable stars,including privately shared moments such as the birth of Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kristina. But there are also shocking and heartbreaking revelations, as Roberts was present for some of Houston's most challenging ordeals. His heart was ultimately shattered as he witnessed her succumb to the one threat he could not protect her from: herself"-- Provided by publisher.
