Someone You Left Behind His Trash, My Treasure is the heartbreaking autobiography of one woman’s undying determination for her child’s father to accept their son. In this personal and painful testament of lies, deceit and rejection, Lynetta Brown-Cain bares her soul of the frustrations of witnessing her only child long for the love of an absent father who simultaneously lifts his other children to international superstardom in music and film. 

​

From their fairy tale-like courtship in the small Mississippi Delta town of Greenwood to the abandonment of a love interest to uplifting herself from the depths of poverty, Lynetta fights to give her child the best life she could give. But all the motherly love in the world couldn’t cure the deep-seeded sadness felt by her only son who incessantly seeks the love and affection of a father who wants nothing to do with him.
