Beautiful truthful story of the woman that grew from a child on the streets of Baltimore. Takes you deeper into the previous non fiction books she's Wooten. It really makes you realize how and why the issues this family went thru happened. what c courage top write about her mother, who is in jail for murdering her father. Another great work by Tia Lincoln.
