Crossroads

Told in raw detail from her childhood years and spanning five decades, Crossroads shares the story of author Ellie Connellys life as it unfolded, growing up in a household that deviated from the norms of social behavior.

From her birth in December 1956 in Manhattan, New York, Connelly suffered through a harrowing childhood, one filled with emotional abuse at the hands of her parents. She stood up to her family who showed her no love, and she literally fought her way into becoming a courageous young girl in order to prove herself to everyone. This memoir shares how Connelly eventually became a confident business executive in the real estate industry and a writer of inspirational poems who has dedicated herself to living her life to the fullest.

With candor and compassion, Crossroads narrates the riveting and sometimes shocking life story of Connelly as she was forced to be tough. Step by step, she shares her journey that brought her an abundance of friendships, happiness, love, and passion, but also pain and dishonesty.
