Veda Pickett Neal

I Never Had a Golden Spoon book cover

Veda Pickett Neal is the daughter of soul legend Wilson Pickett, but her memoir isn’t about fame or fortune.

While her father recorded chart-topping hits and drifted in and out of her life, Neal was navigating an abusive marriage, poverty, and hardship of her own, finding her way through with the love of her children and, eventually, her husband, William Dernell Neal.

She credits her faith for getting her through, and for eventually leading her back to a relationship with her father.
