La Toya: Growing up in the Jackson Family is an autobiography written by American singer La Toya Jackson, and co-authored by celebrity biography author Patricia Romanowski. The book was originally released on February 7, 1991, around the same time as Jackson's seventh studio album No Relations.

In this autobiography, Jackson accuses her father,

Joseph denied all of her allegations initially. However, Michael
confirmed on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1993 that Joseph's beatings were every bit as extreme as La Toya had claimed.

At the time the book was written, Jackson was married to her reportedly abusive manager Jack Gordon, who she now accuses of inserting his own stories into her autobiography to embarrass her family and make her appear to be a "drama queen".[1]

Jackson reunited with her family in the late 1990s after leaving Gordon. On her interview with

New York Times Bestseller List.[2]

In the weeks leading up to the release of the book, Gordon ordered that the transcript be kept in a high-security vault out of fear that the Jackson family would attempt to sabotage the project.
