About The Author… Delores E. Jordan, is the older sister of famed NBA superstar, Michael Jordan, and the second oldest of the 5 children born to James and Delores Jordan. A North Carolina native and a divorced mother of three, she has resided in Pennsylvania for the past 13 years. In 1993, shortly before her father’s murder, and before divorcing her second husband, she embarked upon the journey to finally resolve past issues with her family and her painful struggles within. Writing became an outlet to her in an effort to stay sane during insane times and thus this book was born. The road to bring her story to life was hard and treacherous at times, but she refused to turn back. Criticized, ridiculed and ostracized by her family, she knew that she had to follow the journey to the end.

SynopsisRarely is one's life as it appears to onlookers observing from afar. When observing the life and family of NBA great Michael Jordan, words such as chaos and dysfunction are not words that any of us would associate with the great icon. Yet, this 224-page hardcover autobiography written by his older sister, Deloris E. Jordan, depicts a life of situations that are nothing less than chaotic and dysfunctional at times. While paying homage to the world icon and his great accomplishments, the author also recounts her family's life before her youngest brother became one of the most recognizable athletes, men, and legendary economic figures in the world. Recalling the charismatic charm and risk-taking adventurers of an athlete known for his flying capabilities, she writes earnestly of childhood enjoyments as well as familial discord before ushering us down the road of her own personal experiences. Experiences that tarnished her childhood, destroyed her adolescent dreams, and left her trying to escape the damage of it all still, thirty-plus years later. Many books have and will be written about Michael and the Jordan family, but none of them can tell this author's perspective or personal story better than the author herself. Retracing her journey to wellness, Deloris E. Jordan writes with uncompromised truth and grave transparency in hopes that others will learn from her familial experiences and be spared some of their pain.
