A PIECE OF CAKE - Cupcake Brown
Following her mothers death, Cupcake was just 11 when she entered the child welfare system. Moved from 1 disastrous placement to the next she was, like so many, neglected and sexually abused. She developed a massive appetite for drugs and alcohol- an appetite fed by hustling abd turning tricks- and before long, stumbled headlong into the wild, notoriously dangerous world of the gansta.
But ironically, it was Cupcake's rapid descent into the nightmare of crack cocaine addiction that finally saved her. After 1 crack binge she woke up behing a dumpster. Half dressed and more than half dead, she finally knew she had to change her life or die.
Sorry to just copy the blurb but it tells it better that I could. This is not a book I would usualy read but it is fantastic. So easy to read and it actually made me laugh out loud and cry, I couldn't put it down. It was quite fast moving too as it tells her life from beginning til she's middle aged.
