The Invisible Daughter

By Retina Hogue

Abandoned by her abusive teenage parents, Retina Hogue felt more alone than ever. But after she meets rap music insider Chuck D from Public Enemy, Retina's life becomes a whirlwind of globe-trotting success in the entertainment industry practically overnight. But as she soon discovers, not even performing with some of the world's biggest celebrities can cure the gut-wrenching traumas of her past. When Retina's abusive father becomes a beloved Canadian football star, her horrific past becomes all the more upsetting to bear. He starts a new family, having three more children who, to this day, have no idea Retina is their sister. One of those siblings now plays in the NFL. But even with her fame in the music business and her family's fame in professional football, Retina is still haunted with the feeling as though she doesn't even exist. To the world, her father and brother are picture-perfect celebrities. But she is nothing but a ghost to them. Through success on the stage and her quest to be recognized by her long-lost family, can Retina emerge whole from her broken past? It may not be possible, but with all the hope and strength she can muster, she is determined to find out once and for all.
