A journalist and human rights activist shares the story of her troubled childhood in East St. Louis—a memoir of family, faith and the power of books.

What The Reviewers Say

Emily Bowles,
Library Journal
... forthright prose and clear, insightful observations about experiencing and learning from trauma. The memoir reads almost like a novel, and each voice that emerges through the dialogue shimmers with complexity.
Catherine Hollis,
BookPage
... absolutely stunning.

Publishers Weekly
... indelible.

Kirkus
... sometimes brutal, sometimes tender.
