Daddy’s House: The Birth of a #1 Bestseller My Cotton Patch Moment

    • Self-Improvement

In this episode, I introduce you to the world of publication. I learned it is not enough to have a captivating story. If you aren't "known", most publishers are unwilling to invest in you or your book. But that didn't stop me from taking my memoir from a dream into a reality! Not only did I write my memoir and find my "right-for-me" publisher but in one month, this book has reached the #1 Best Seller and "Hot New Release" on Amazon!! Here is where you can purchase your copy of my memoir, Daddy's House: A Daughter’s Memoir of Setbacks, Triumphs & Rising Above Her Roots .
Wondering what some readers are saying? Here is a portion of one review from Amazon:
Mildred J Mills’ memoir was so captivating from the beginning to the end that once I started I had a hard time putting it down. Daddy’s House tackles many topics that many, especially African American families deal with: strict parenting, assault, racial and gender discrimination, mental health. Most of all it shows resilience and that through hard work, dedication and faith in God, success will be yours.
