REVIEW
“As a dedicated GM fan there were a couple of hardships that I did not even know about! The well written book confirmed for me that George Michael is an honest and loving, giving being.
Through EVERYTHING he has gone through an inspiration. A “gifted” man whom has blessed us with not only his voice and songwriting but also fighting for what he believes in.
I wish him continued success and to keep the faith and strength. Thank you also to the author Robert Steele for a fascinating journey through his writing. Could not place the book down. Fantastic writing!” Amazon
This is another great deal from southcoastmusic!
