Boy Behind the Mask by Sarah Weaver

Michael Jackson was a child prodigy and an artistic genius beyond compare. He was the most famous person on the planet, with a stage presence that made entire stadiums scream.

We know he had a difficult childhood, we know his musical genius catapaulted him to fame beyond anyone’s wildest dreams, we know that later on in life he suffered at the hands of the opportunistic people around him.

He shared with us the Moonwalk, Thriller, Billie Jean, amazing outfits, and taught us that no matter how tough life gets, love is the only thing that matters. He cared for his family, for children, for animals, for the planet, and for his fans.

But who was Michael Jackson?

A man from nowhere, a prince from a universe of fantasy.

Part man part child.

A beautiful being who emerged from his private sanctuary to confront a mad, mad world.

Fragile but unbreakable.

A mystery.
