What to expect
The high price of living with the toxic Jackson family.
For years Margaret Maldonado Jackson celebrated the good life, living with her Prince Charming Jermaine of the famed Jackson family. A former teenage runaway, she had felt fortunate to be welcomed into the Jackson clan. So why, in 1993, was she running for her life with her children? What had happened to make Margaret feel so threatened and so alone? What had she done to make Jermaine and the other Jacksons commit acts of verbal, physical, and legal intimidation upon her, when she only wished to be part of their family?
In Jackson Family Values, Margaret recounts the ongoing hostility, paranoia, backbiting, and jealousy that pervaded the family, and how suspected instances of rape, murder, abuse, and adultery touched all their lives. Told with anecdotal humor and honesty, this is the story of how one young woman endured years of betrayal and disillusionment to regain independence for herself and her children.
