For much of 2022, Sophia Brown reflected on a painful period in her life by writing a memoir she said was “interesting and therapeutic to my mind”.
That book, Heart of A Broken Girl, recalls a childhood in St Elizabeth without the love of parents. It was released in April by Bookwriters Hub.
“It’s about me as a child, feeling abandoned by my parents. I never knew my dad until I was 25, and I was crying for the love of my mother,” said Brown who was raised by Agatha “Miss Etta” Miller, her maternal grandmother.
The first-time author remembers awkward, intermittent visits by her mother.
“When she left I felt the pain,” she said.
Heart of A Broken Girl is dedicated to Miss Etta who also raised Brown’s two brothers.
It took her five months to complete a manuscript of hurtful recollections.
Despite years of mixed feelings towards her parents, Brown is grateful for the time spent with Miss Etta, who earnestly filled roles of mother and father.
Brown has had a fulfilling career as a singer, releasing numerous songs and four albums to date.
