An emotional "in your face" memoir on surviving the worst life has to offer. From losing her mother at 11, to being torn from the only family she knows, abusive foster homes, life on the streets, drugs, alcohol, bad relationships, gang involvement and violence. Cupcake has survived it all. Through a strong spirit she perserved and pushed herself through college and law school. A difficult road for most with just one of the devasting life consequences. This girl has managed to come out on the top of the heap and live to write about. A very inspiring autobiography.

Be warned though.. this book is peppered with very careful language, drug language and adult situations.
