Book Description:   "YOU ARE ONLY AS SICK AS YOUR SECRETS..."

When Jackie Strickland, author of RED HIGH HEELS ON MY MAMA'S GRAVE, heard those words from her therapist, she knew she was on to something. This gripping memoir of madness and murder, set in the Deep South, in 1952, takes you to her raw and private places. Renouncing her fear of public opinion, she tells with unreserved honesty, about the repercussions she endured for many years after her mother was murdered when the author was eight. With fierce determination, courage and humor, the author found her personal truths, putting her on the victorious path to forgiveness and healing.

If you have ever felt defeated, you will take heart while reading this book which pulls you up by the seat of your pants and points you straight ahead to resolution.

"RED HIGH HEELS ON MY MAMA'S GRAVE is a powerful memoir about overcoming and healing. With soul baring honesty and haunting detail, the author chronicles the traumatic events that shaped her childhood and early adult years, her battle with the emotional pain that threatened to consume her, and how she persevered and transformed all of it into a life filled with hope and beauty."
-Gayla Crosby, author and newspaper journalist.

"From the moment the title grips you, Jackie Strickland's story will hold you with the anguished love a child has for an abusive parent. Until well after dark, she sits on the edge of a board porch, waiting for a mother who doesn't come. That absence won't be the last or the worst. You'll want to know every detail of how this little girl survives, and how this woman overcomes."
-Charlotte Harrell, author, professional artist and adjunct college instructor of Art History and English.

RED HIGH HEELS ON MY MAMA'S GRAVE is Jackie Strickland's first book, but certainly not her last. A sequel to this book is in progress.
