Item Description
A memoir ... child abandonment... dysfunctional teen parenting ... a young woman comes to terms with her past.
"Consider navigating life down a spiraling birth canal spit out into utter darkness onto the edge of a mammoth cliff, alone. And as you desperately cling to the slippery slopes, every sound you hear you believe is someone coming to pull you to safety, but they only push you closer to doom. How one champions such an existence void of love ... can best be answered by Starkishia, Estrella. It is her story. And we are grateful to God she lived to tell it. Star puts our complaining to shame."
Alice Thomas-Tisdale, Publisher, Jackson Advocate
"Starkishia Estrella is her name. And while Estrella means star in Spanish...the light Starkishia builds from her life's story feels more like a lighthouse...built on crushed rock hardened by the cement of survival. Star's lighthouse is as much a beacon of hope that her lost children will find her as it is a light for others to avoid the lethal rocks of self hatred and revenge. In the end it is the graces of forgiveness that earn Starkishia her passage to new beginnings. And her path to forgiveness makes the reader, no matter their background, better for entering this amazing woman's life."
