"Riveting and inspiring!"
"Heartbreaking but beautifully written"
"Healing!"
"Totally Captivating!"
Behind the glitz and the glamour of the beauty queen mother lies a web of secrets. CeeCee is a child desperate for a touch of approval, the love of her mother. Her reality is her mom's retreating back, abandoning CeeCee in front of a burning car.
The years continue with abuse in many forms, along with brainwashing and mental torture.
But somewhere amid the chaos and despair, CeeCee holds onto something precious, the only thing that drives her on - hope.
Raw and inspiring, Ghost No More is a child abuse true story that proves joy and healing can be found beyond abuse.
"Hauntingly beautiful. Honestly and unflinchingly written, Ghost No More held me in its grasp as I turned from shock at the cruelty of some people to awe at the strength of one little girl to overcome. It is more than the story of an abused child; it's a story about the capacity of the human spirit to survive and thrive. It will leave you feeling empowered in your own life journey." -- Leslie G Nelson, author of Everything I Needed to Know About Parenting I Learned in Prison: A Correctional Officer's Tale
