"An engrossing, often gut-wrenching portrayal of abuse that offers a path to healing." -Kirkus Reviews
"Navarro has written a memoir loaded with suspense that readers won't want to put down." -Readers' Favorite
In this gripping, honest memoir, Nikki Navarro shares her true story of abuse, kidnapping, and multigenerational trauma-and how she ultimately broke the cycle to find happiness and success.
Call Me Nikki begins as a story of an unloved little girl, born the product of a nonconsensual encounter to a young mother and absent father. Nikki's parents, themselves victims of abuse, were unable to offer her the love and stability every child deserves. The neglectful and harmful experiences Nikki faced as a child follows her into adulthood, where she continues to fall into toxic situations and relationships, easily manipulated and overpowered by others. But when Nikki uncovers long-concealed secrets that have haunted generations of women in her family, she becomes determined to end the generational cycle of abuse.
With candor and grace, Nikki reveals how she managed to journey through unthinkable suffering and find the strength to reject the narrative of her past and build a life filled with love and faith. Call Me Nikki brings to light a heartbreaking reality that many women face-but is ultimately a story of resilience, triumph, and hope.
