YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE... The explosive book by Vernice Watson with Milton Allen

A Gospel Music Industry tell all, containing glaring facts and figures by Gospel Music Marketing Pioneer, Vernice Watson. Everyone should have a copy of this true-life, confession of behind the scene ins and outs of the music business. Vernice Watson also shares a firsthand accounting of a horrid and unpleasant legal encounter with communications giant AT&T in a battle that left her almost homeless and destitute. Her story is one that everyone should read if they still want to believe all in the music industry is glitz and glamour.
