An excerpt from Looking For Love:

The End…And the Beginning

A buzzing noise went off inside my head and kept getting louder and louder. All around me people were talking but I couldn’t understand anything they were saying. Someone started tugging on my sleeve and then, all of a sudden, a pain-filled cry pierced the room. Turning around, I saw my mother’s face etched in torment. “Nooooo!” she wailed. “Please Nooooo!”

The sight and sound of my mother jolted my foggy mind back into reality and everything around me seemed to stand still. This can’t be real, I thought staring in horror at my mother and sister clinging to one another. Then an officer grabbed my wrists and locked them together in handcuffs. The click of the handcuffs poured over me like a deadly tidal wave. I knew it was over. I was going to prison – for a very long time.

In Looking for Love, Cheryl Cusella shares her heart-wrenching story, which begins with a childhood filled with abuse, anger, and despair. In her twenties – because of her strong resemblance to the popular singer Stevie Nicks – Cheryl was pulled into the limelight and subsequent wealth of being a professional impersonator, later joining her sister as a feature duo in nightclubs around Las Vegas and the nation.

Looking for Love is Cheryl’s candid, personal story of her struggle to find contentment through money, gambling, sex, and performing, and the way happiness always eluded her grasp. Stevie Nicks’ family befriended Cheryl, helping her endure some of the lean times, but it wasn’t until she finally landed in a prison cell that Cheryl found the peace and fulfillment she had been seeking throughout her life.
