Ghost No More: a memoir in Bloomington, MN

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 a life of neglect, homelessness, dirty secrets, and abuse. But somewhere amid the chaos and despair, CeeCee holds onto something precious, the only thing that drives her on - hope.
If she can only find the key.... the key that will open the door to love, trust, and the healing of broken places.
Ghost No More is a memoir of tragedy, love, and strength that proves joy 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
