Michael Jordan’s Sister Accuses Father of Rape
Michael J0rdan’s sister Deloris Jordan reveals a dark family secret in this tell all book. The title of the book is In My Family’s Shadow. There is such a huge demand for this book, it’s being sold on EBAY for $109.00
In this book Deloris speaks of losing her virginity at the hands of her father, continued sexual abuse, denial and emotional abuse by her mother, depression… And mistreatment by her brother Michael.
I felt sad reading the excerpt. Many of you are wondering, why it took so long for her to come out public. Oftentimes, rape victims find therapy in writing and the healing process can take years. I know there is more to this story and it can be unearth by reading the book.
I did some research and the book was published in 2001 and is no longer available in print. I wonder if Michael Jordan brought all the copies. And why am I just hearing about it?
Ending eight years after it first began and five years after losing my virginity to my father, it scares me to think how much longer the abuse would have went on had I not spit out the dreadful truth to my mother during one of our many heated disagreements. Disagreements that were sometimes anything but pleasant and often featured no indication of love between the two of us.
So as she ranted and raved about how no slutty daughter of hers better get pregnant and bring any bastard children into her house. I finally heard myself saying: “If I am so much of a slut, why don’t you keep your husband out of my bed?”
When I finally found the courage to let my father’s deeds tumble from my lips, I did not know what to expect, but I never in a million years would have guessed that my mother would turn on me. Her words of betrayals did far more damage to me than my father’s deeds. They spoke volumes to the fact that she really did not care about me, which my father obviously knew. It is because she was so expressive with her dislike for me that probably made my father know he could get away with violating me.
My father confessed his actions on the same day that I disclosed them to my mother. And on that frightful day of admission, I watched my mother, looking for a sign, any sign that she cared about me.
The memory of my father whispering in my ear during the wee hours of the night about the beauty of my body has played over and over in my head for many years. And as if that has not been incapacitating enough by itself, having to comprehend the fact that more often than not, he had just gotten out of the bed he shared with my mother to find his way to my bedroom has just added to the realization of the painful situation.

Comment made on October 30, 2009 at 12:41 pmI grew up in a town about 5 miles from rockfish, nc, calyaco bay is the name of the neighborhood.I took a photo with james Jordan at one of our Alumi class reunion at Charity High, Rose Hill NC. People have been urging me to post the picture,but I don’t know if that’s a good idea since James is dead. I have been trying to get a copy of sister’s book but have not been able to get a copy. I am very interested in hearing what sister has to say about James.I’m not surprised that Michael don’t won’t the book to be read, after all Michael does not acknowledge where he is orginally from. He tells everybody he is from Wilmington NC,but Michael is from Rockfish nc, Calyaco bay. Michael does nothing for the community he grew up in.And there is a lot he could do for the lost youth in rockfish and surrounding neighborhoods. I wonder does sister mention that in her tell all book?I really want to post the picture of me and James. I’m really proud of it. I have given copies to my children and and grandchildren and they like it and don’t seem to think there would be anything wrong with posting it.
