Keyshia Cole's Mom "Frankie Legs" Her Way To A Memoir

Dec 09 | by Natasha

Frankie Lons is trying to become an empire y'all. Not only did she drop her new single and video "Frankie Leg" this week, she's also dropping her memoir called "The Best Years I Never Had." Deets inside...

Ms. Frankie is not just about the foolywangery, she's also an authoress. She wrote (says the press release) a book about her life and hardships that she feels could help others through their own life trials. After turning to prostitution and drugs after falling on hard times, having to live without her biological daughter Keyshia Cole, and spending many years in jail, Frankie is trying to get her life back together.

The release states:

If dancing isn’t your thing, Frankie’s newest page turner is sure to keep you engaged. Published through Success Books and Media; The Best Years I Never Had takes readers through the pains of being a single mother on drugs, and Frankie’s fight to survive day to day. The petite powerhouse bares her personal struggles and uses them to offer women sincere, heartfelt understanding and candid advice about sex, drugs, and overcoming adversities.

“This book will inspire; it tells the story of a lady who’s been through everything from battling with drugs to resorting to prostitution and everything in between....this is her journey to turn her life around and merge into society.” Explains Frankie’s Manager, acclaimed author and platinum producer Leroy McMath, “She’s showing people that she has changed her life and they can do it too.”

It comes out online Dec. 20th with the paperback in stores on Jan. 24th. Will you be copping this?

I'm sure it is a page turner

I'm sure it is a page turner like a Mutha! Frankie is desperate to maintain a lifestyle her that celebrity daughter Keyshia Cloe introduced her to, so I know she didn't I hold "NOTHING" back! I will read it, but only as a borrowed item from a friend or associate, because I would never spend my hard earned money on trash.

Let's be honest no one would

Let's be honest no one would read Frankies' book if it didn't say, "Keyshia Coles' mother" on the freaking cover. I see several families leech off of their succesful children, i.e. Fantasia. Frankie did what she did for hear life to be shitty, Frankie was using Keysia in jail to get her hook up, Frankie needs to let your daughter be

i feel that she is trying to

i feel that she is trying to market off the fact that she is keyshia coles mom and she shouldnt do that. " frankie keyshia coles mom" if she feels that she is such a reality star and that people love her so much than she shoudlnt have to throw that she is her mother on that cover page we all know your keyshia coles mom. i guess she feels that throwing that on her cover will get people who dont really know her to read it and its kind of pathetic

Really, I mean who wants to

Really, I mean who wants to read the adventures of an heroin addict? Frankie needs to chill out and truly get herself into recovery.It's like she's reliving her childhood, hell most people no matter your race has had some type of struggle in their don't mean we need to have a book....

THIS ^^ I mean it's not like she can really go out and get a job. With her record and likely lack of marketable skills she is not moving to the top of anyone's list of applicants in these recessionary times. I say, make money doing what she's doing and stack all the loot she can while she can.

I wish her the best. I would buy it used...but I buy all my books used. I would be interested in reading what she has to say. Be careful, you NEVER know what circumstance might befall you. Don't judge too harshly. Just be glad you haven't had to fight the same demons. Btw, she did apologize to her children. She is a character but I like her.

Frankie is a hot mess but you

Frankie is a hot mess but you gotta admire her tenacity. She is a star and if not for the drugs =she would probably be one of the most successful people around. When she is not talking crazy she actually has a lot to say. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors. As for getting back her kids why disrupt the life of an 8 year old if he/she is with the only family that theyve known.

Some African Americans feel

Some African Americans feel as though they have still act like fools to be successful in entertainment. I feel as though this is Frankie's brand and apparently it is working for her. Its her hustle. Sadly she is probably unaware that she being slaved or is she.... who is the bigger fool her or the man. Well we don't know because we don't know whats in her bank account. And every time she does something we are talking about it adding to her 15 minutes of fame and helping her make her money.

She is disgusting and a disgrace to REAL mother's. She lost custody of every damn child she had and she had about 6 or 7. The youngest is around 8 and is still in foster care from what they've been saying! I hope NOBODY supports this sicko.

We don't know what drove her

We don't know what drove her to drugs or prostitution, so to condemn her is wrong. I'm no fan of hers, but often when we pull back the curtains on drug & alcohol addiction there is usually more than meets the eye

Are you stupid and/or slow? The system took her kids away from her while she was still heavily on drugs. Just cause she's gotten herself together doesnt mean the courts is going to hand her kids back?! Are you not aware Keyshia Cole has two moms?? How do you know she hasnt apologized to her kids???

Keyshia Cole looks like

Keyshia Cole looks like Frankie to me. That child pic of her is very cute but I find Frankie to be a cute women now too though. I just have a problem with her actions and I feel as though she needs to appologize to her children and do everything in her power to make it up to them. She failed her own babies! So sad.
