"Just loved Hooked On A Horn, An Amazing life, made me laugh and cry.... an exceptional book"
"Highly recommended. Humorous, heart wrenching, inspirational. Presented with creative flair."
A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
TRUE STORY. Bella survived an abusive powerbroker father with organized crime ties, a drug-addicted mother and a physically/sexually abusive brother. Shocking & inspirational. When she couldn't cry, she tattooed a crying angel to cry for her.
