A daughter of a Legendary Blues Recording Artist known as “Lonnie Brooks” Being a daughter of a Blues Legend, living in a house of blues filled with blues, does not mean I was born with a silver spoon. I share my true story of my childhood mischief, growing pains, racial persecution, personal struggle, abuse and addiction, to eventual recovery and psychological healing through my strong faith. Writing my book with the guidance of God, hearing his voice lead my long road to healing. I did not seek professional help, like so many of us. I rendered every fiber of my being into the trust of my heavenly father above, I listened, I followed his instructions and here it is! My story, my journey. In this world today, there are so many women just like me. I held on to secrets of abuse, I never spoke about my struggles with my father or my family for many years until this book. I’m here to tell you now “Man, woman or child” help is near. I encourage you to write it, or seek professional help, I encourage you to let it go from your soul. My experiences writing for a promised healing, a soul cleansing, helped me open up and learn more about myself. I hope and pray my story can help the next person, I hope my story can help you! You will also find stories such as, how I witnessed my dad’s struggles in the music industry to his excels, finally making it to a higher level in his career. I share, through it all how my dad raised us, his friendship. I express the love my dad has for his music, his song writing, his guitar, his dignity, his dreams and his family.

A Book written by the daughter of a Blues Hall of Fame Inductee "Lonnie Brooks"is known National and Internationally as a Legendary Blues Recording Artist My dads calm spirit, gentle soul and his nine children, this is my story of growing up in the house with a Blues Legend, how I witnessed his career excel, witnessing the good times as well as the bad. Remembering when we didn't have much to eat and remembering the spelling on the bottles of generic ketsup and Mayo we ate as sandwiches to eating steaks and vegetables. Remembering dad having to comb my hair for school, giving me two extremely tight braids that wouldn't lay down, that got me chased home and beat up by classmates. Remembering my dad's first trip to Europe, his first televised appearance on "Hee Haw" hosted by Roy Clark, while my siblings and I sat on the floor watching the show waiting for him to come back home with the paycheck, and with haste so that we can eat. He even appeared on "Soul Train" hosted by Don Cornelius in Chicago, my cousin's and I at an early age choreographed dance moves to a song dad wrote called "The Flip" based from "The Flip Wilson Comedy Show" in the early seventies. Witnessing countless times of my dads music being used without his permission. Often a happy man we all knew when someone had upset dad, it had to be really bad for him to get very angry. I could always tell when he was hurt about something because his heart would definitely rise on his sleeve. Through it all I just want to express my point of view of the love my dad has for his music, his song writing, his guitar, his dignity, his Dream and his family. Growing up with my dad being on the road after a long haul of getting where he wanted to be in his career, things that happened to me that he has no clue about. Events from a child to an adult. With guided decisions and protection of my Guardian Angels forced me to seek freedom within myself to be able to share my story with you today.
