(I'm sorry for posting the official blurb. I love to write, but blurbs are my nemesis!!)
All CeeCee wanted was just a touch of approval and love from her mother. That's all.
What she got was neglect, homelessness, dirty secrets, and abuse. Yet, there must be a way out of the mind-numbing self-condemnation that would surely lead to her ultimate destruction - there had to be.
All she had to do was find the key that would open the door to feeling loved for the first time, learning to trust, and healing the broken places.
-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
