Book excerpt: Never Tell Mommy is the inspiring story of Jackie E.'s painful secret of having been sexually exploited by her father at a young age, how it came back to haunt her as an adult, and how she refused to let it defeat her. Set in Los Angeles in the 1930s and 40s, Jackie E. writes with candor and compassion of her manipulative parents, affectionately of her eccentric relatives and devoted friends who nurtured her, and of her own ebullient spirit for life. Forced to reexamine her life in the 1980s, she finally comes to terms with her confusing childhood, realizing that the past is no longer an enemy. Written with heart and masterful story-telling, this memoir touches anyone who has experienced any kind of childhood trauma and it has the potential to impact all who hear Jackie E.'s message of optimism.
