NEW YORK — Cissy Houston has a few words, and a few more, for Bobby Brown. In “Remembering Whitney,” the mother of the late Whitney Houston writes that from the start she had doubted whether Brown was right for her daughter. And she thinks that Whitney might not have ended up so “deep” into drugs had they not stayed together.

“Remembering Whitney” came out Tuesday, two weeks short of the first anniversary of Houston’s death. During an interview, Houston said she has no contact with Brown and didn’t see any reason to, not even concerning her granddaughter, Bobbi Kristina. Houston said she wanted the book published so the world would not believe the worst about her daughter.
