Product Description

You know him as a superstar who's won awards and appeared in videos and pulls all those great moves onstage. But long before he was a Backstreet Boy, he was my boy--and I want to share his whole exctitng story with you.

I'll tell you about my favorite memories of Nick, as both a mom and a manager...what he was like as a little boy, his dreams, the early auditions and contests, the pain and the heartbreak along the way, the big break, and the behind-the-scenes entries that only an insider gets to see.

Since I've been in touch with so many of you, I know the kinds of things you really want to know. And just like you, I love him too--so let me share some secrets (and maybe brag just a little...after all, I am his mom).

Best,

Jane E. Carter

By A Customer

a book that gives us the inside story,where other books about Nick will never reach.A book for all die-hard Nick Carter fans.You have to get it! The book is filled with info about Nick's life,it's filled with joys and tears,that make you cry and laugh all at the same time.And at the end,you look at Nick in a different light,he's not just a blonde haired, blue eyes,great smile guy in one of the worlds most talented bands,he's a person. He worked hard to achieve his goal,and thank the lord he did,or I wouldn't be able to sleep at night,without hearing his voice! This is one of the best books that I have ever read,if you are one of the die-hard Nick fans,like me,you'll know that this book will be worth every cent of your money. Mrs.Jane Carter,I salute you for raising Nick in your tender love and care,thanks for helping him achieve his goal!

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect fan, December 16, 1999

By	~*Scheherazade*~ (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews

I bought Jane's book last year, but actually haven't had any time to review it. Now I do and I can't wait! This is, honestly, one of the best biographies I've ever read. I love biographies, and I know when I see a good one. This book is so easy to read I guarantee you'll do it in less than 2 hours. I even did that! And my mother language is Spanish, not English. Besides, it's not only about Nick. Jane gives you the full scoope on the Carter family, their way of living, to conquer goals and more! When I read it... I just though of my mom. And if you really pay attention to it, you'll see why Nick came out the way he is! That's what YOU call a perfect fan! Congratulations Jane! P.S. Any chance of writing another one about the other boys? ~*HUGS*~
