Hello. Mom? It’s Gigi

My mother Elizabeth left our family for the last time when I was six years old. Growing up without her was devastating. My sister and I were never allowed to see her or discuss her, my father forbid it. By the time I reached 18, I was filled with indifference. I no longer cared to hear her side of things. I resolved that if she didn't want me, I didn't need her. It would be 21 years before I would prepare myself to see her again. What would she say? What could she say? What I prepared myself for was far from what I found. Hello Mom, It's Gigi, chronicles the lives of two little girls growing up without their mother and all they would encounter on their journey to womanhood.
