Ghost No More
Product Description
*whispersinc audio available*
A haunting true story, Ghost No More lives up to its title as it shares hope after trauma.
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.
But somewhere amid the chaos and despair, CeeCee holds onto something precious, the only thing that drives her on – hope.
Ghost No More is a child abuse true story 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

From the Author
This is my journey back from fear and hopelessness, and how I went from feeling like a ghost, to realizing my voice and value. I own it and share it because it has no power over me anymore.I wrote Ghost No More because once I was swallowed by pain, confusion, and fear, and I don’t want anyone in that place to stand alone.

Beautifully written
By sarah
I started reading this at night in bed and finally put it down at 4:30 am. Not because I was done reading, but because I needed to sleep! And finished the book later in the day. It’s not often I stay up all night reading a book, but when I do, it’s because it’s really good and well written! This is a book about a girl who survives a horribly abusive childhood. But she doesn’t just survive, she ends up finding healing, love, and redemption. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story, CeeCee. I am in awe that such beauty can come out of incredible pain.

Compelling read
By J. G.
As hard as it was to learn of CeeCee’s painful childhood, it was impossible to stop reading because it was so well written. Read this on my phone from start to finish unable to put it down.
I’d definitely love to read more writings from this author.

Amazing
By Angela B
This memoir was so heartbreaking but beautifully written, and the positivity that CeeCee carried throughout all of her experiences was amazing. The ending is great 🙂
