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 in 1991, around the same time as Jackson's seventh studio album No Relations.

The autobiography is both loved and hated by Jackson's fans, as it accuses her father of extreme violence and physical abuse, and goes into detail on the personal lives of her superstar brother Michael Jackson and the other members of the R&B group The Jackson 5. The Jacksons' siblings denied the allegations.

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].

According to recent reports, Jackson has made up with the family and has accepted her father's apologies for the cruel treatment he gave her and her siblings as children [2]. The autobiography was re-issued under various titles throughout the 1990s. The original hardcover edition spent several weeks atop the New York Times Bestseller List [3].
