"In Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go Lucille will take you on a
40-year journey from 'mental welfare to mental wealth.' You will laugh--
you may cry--and in the process you will be encouraged, enlightened, and
empowered." --Paula White, author of Dare to Dream: See Yourself as God
Sees You
As the mother of one of the greatest athletes of all time, her journey
is exceptional; but her story reveals that she is more than just
"Shaquille O'Neal's mom."
Lucille O'Neal is a woman you know, a woman you understand. Perhaps your
own journey resembles hers. O'Neal has been a rebellious teen, a single
mother, a wife, a college student, a divorcee, and, above all, a woman
of unique courage.
Acquainted early in life with turmoil, O'Neal's circumstances shaped her
perspective and strengthened her resolve to overcome the challenges she
would encounter later in life. She has endured poverty, rejection,
abuse, addiction, and the illness of a child, yet today her faith and
compassion for others are stronger than ever. O'Neal writes
candidly--and often humorously--about her years of spiritual unrest and
mental warfare, and her return to the God of her childhood.
In Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go, O'Neal shares her struggles and
disappointments against the backdrop of her sweetest memories and
proudest accomplishments. After fifty-five years, O'Neal has gained the
wisdom to recognize her wrongs and guide others down a different path.
Her story is proof that it's never too late for a new beginning.
