A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown

Brown's memoir is striking and brutally honest.
Her life was beyond unpleasant and as a child she suffered at the hands of those who were suppose to care for her and in many way the court and foster system helped put a young child onto a path of self destruction. Brown however hits rock bottom and climbs her way out of the cesspool her life had become. Her honesty about drug abuse, physical abuse, gang involvement and prostitution are blunt. Be prepared for harsh language, slang and racial incrimination's. FYI: There is a degree of doubt on some aspects of her life but under it there is a level of truth and that level will capture and carry you thru Brown's life story. Take a chance with this memoir.... 

  Grade: B+
