San Jose, CA Author Publishes Memoir about Her Abusive Mother

September 9, 2014 - "Cinderella Not," a new book by Deborah Reneé, has been released by RoseDog Books.

About the Book: Debbie was such a happy baby and little girl, full of love and life. She had four brothers, no sisters, and was always striving to capture her mother's unconditional love. However, she learned over time that Mommy was very partial to boys and had a terribly unpredictable split personality: one as charming as the sky is blue; the other as vindictive as the devil himself.

But this Cinderella story doesn't end with a Prince Charming, but rather is a retelling of the author's struggle to rise above the ashes.
