Very Good Book, and The Movie is good also.
This story is about a woman who overcomes with faith crime, poverty, abuse and addiction
Excellent book
I think Variety said it best: "Her name is Michelle. As a child she called her grandma Mama, her mother by her first name and her mother's boyfriends Uncle. She grew up fast with too many men, too many strangers, and too many betrayals. Lost and sentenced to a private hell of abuse, addiction, poverty and crime, Michelle has now been given a second chance to reclaim her life. But first she has to believe in the possible. She has to believe in hersef. What is takes to free her is the one thing Michelle thought she'd never have. It's called faith".
