CLEVELAND (AP) -Shaquille O’Neal’s mom has written a tell-all book – about herself.
Inspired and motivated by her superstar son, Lucille O’Neal is promoting, “Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go: From Mental Welfare to Mental Wealth,” a book that chronicles her life as an unwed teen mother, struggles with alcohol and her determination to get a college degree in her 40s.
On Wednesday, she signed copies of the book at Quicken Loans Arena before her son’s team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, hosted the Milwaukee Bucks. Shaquille O’Neal is currently sidelined with a thumb injury but is expected to return for the NBA playoffs.
His mom said the book has been “in me for years.” A mother of four and grandmother of 14, she decided to write it to help motivate others who may see her now and not realize the difficulties she has overcome.
