This is a good book.I believe that what she is telling is true.I think O.J. is the kind of person who would make his own family wait in line to get tickets to watch him play football.Jesus,how inconsiderate!And when Terri and her family came down to visit,O.J. would go out to dinner with other people and leave them at home.They must really care for him,they stood by him through his trial.If he had treated me like that,family or not,I would say the hell with him!!Glad to see Terri had the guts to speak out,I can imagine the rest of the family probably shunned her for that,but the truth is the truth.I hope Terri you have managed to stay sober,I know it's a tough road to maintain it, being a recovered addict myself.ROCK ON!!

When I first bought the book,"I'm Not Dancing Anymore" by O.J. Simpsons neice I thought it was going to be another book trashing O.J. I really thought I was going to sit down read the book and hear about how awfuel O.J. was, but I was completly wrong. Terri Baker describes a completly different character of Nicole Simpson. Nicole was described as having a bad temper, writing people off and contributing to her argumets with O.J. In all the books that I had read so far,(and I have read all but five)not one book describes the pain that the Simpson family went throught throughout the trial. Miss.Baker did mention that for a while she never really knew who her Uncle O.J. was growing up because he was never really around. This book having been written by one of the Simpson family member, was not a book to defend him and not a book to blame him, she just told us in her eyes who O.J. Simpson was to his family. This is one of the many best books about the Simpson case that is worth the reading.

Terri ... You did an excellent job of describing the trauma and emotions involved.

One thing that I had never thought about: what happens to the defendant's family. It is almost as they are guilty by association. Yet society does not provide anyone to help them thru the emotional trauma they must endure.

A consolation: You do not have to be black to have an important member of your family do something reprehensible, humiliating, and illegal. I speak from experience. It happens in those 'superior' white families also. And how to they handle it? Just like your family did ... some better than others.

By the way, the reason the police appeared to bungle things: they are as much in awe of the 'juice' as his family. Heros just DO NOT do things like that!
