Non-Fiction Memoir
Tired of keeping his life-long secrets, author Dominic
Carter, described by some as the best of New York's
political television reporters, shares his remarkable,
gut-wrenching story of abuse at the hands of his mother in
No Momma's Boy. Shortly after his mother's death, Carter
obtains her psychiatric records to learn more about the
extent of her struggles. He always knew she was plagued by
mental illness, but because of their limited relationship,
he never truly understood its severity. In addition to
revealing that she was a paranoid schizophrenic, the records
contain shocking secrets from his past of which he has
little or no recollection. Carter learns the revolting
details of how his mother attempted to strangle him to death
when he was just a toddler and her numerous suicide
attempts. As he uncovers these horrific details, Carter
awakens memories of unspeakable acts that he suffered at her
hands. From a childhood of sexual and physical abuse to a
meaningful career attending social events at the White House
and interviewing Nelson Mandela, No Momma's Boy recounts
Carter's tremendous highs and lows and how he survived to
become the successful journalist that he is today.
