If you want an eye-opening portrayal of the real Michael Jackson—delivered in a rare blend of disclosure, respect, insight, and passion—this is it! - Thomas A. Mesereau, Jr. . December 2011 – Ponte Vedra Beach, FL – Veteran author Dr. Karen Moriarty has announced the release of Defending A King ~ His Life & Legacy (by Infinity Publishing). Understanding that “bizarre behavior is normal in bizarre circumstances,” Dr. Moriarty leads readers carefully through the maze of stunningly bizarre events and circumstances of Michael Jackson's life. With previously unknown revelations, the King of Pop is disclosed as a complex and vulnerable man who lived—and struggled--at the pinnacle of human existence. |

In the wake of the disturbing manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, in which the defense and often the media sordidly tried to put Michael--the victim of the crime--on trial, Dr. Moriarty helps readers understand the unique struggles of this inspirational genius and worldwide humanitarian. [This is the first published book that covers the Conrad Murray trial, including the sentencing hearing on November 29, 2011.]
Dr. Moriarty's portrayal of the man includes explanations of why Michael was not a recluse, why he became nomadic after his 2005 criminal trial, why he veiled his children in public, and why he always kept millions of dollars in cash within arm's reach. The author affirms that Michael was heterosexual and that he struggled for decades with insomnia. Incorporating more than 200 sources, including accounts from a variety of people who knew Michael intimately, Dr. Moriarty reveals also where he went and what he did during those last four mysterious years of his life.
Defending A King ~ His Life & Legacy addresses the three biggest mistakes Michael made in his life: one that was only a temporary fix; one that more than anything else proved his child-like level of trust; and the one that caused his tragic demise. From the perspective and empathy of a psychologist, Dr. Moriarty not only proposes plausible explanations for some of the seemingly absurd elements of the mega-star's private life, but she also presents fully some of its truly unparalleled circumstances, which will strain the imaginations of even those fans who “knew” him best.
Michael
Jackson was the King of Pop. He was also the King of Controversy.
But mostly, as this book reveals, he was the King of Hearts. Not only in
his humanitarian acts—he donated more than $300 million to charities—but in his
private acts of kindness that few people know about, he was a man whose global
legacy of goodness may ultimately outshine his reputation for greatness.
Defending A King ~ His Life & Legacy is available from Infinity Publishing (infinitypublishing.com) and through www.defendingaking.com.
