RICHARDSON uses her story of recovery from human trafficking and drugs to becoming an award winning PhD and recording artist to motivate others. The way too fast way she grew up was and is too common, but her will to remap her destiny is uncommon indeed. She inherits a plain way of talking about horrific pain from a mother who seemed impossible to shock. She has won awards from the National Council of Negro Women, City of Columbus, and Cleveland State University, and other organizations.. To call her story inspiring would be itself too plain a thing, hers is a heroic life." -dream Hampton, writer and filmmaker ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ELAINE RICHARDSON, Professor of Literacy Studies in the College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University, is focused on literacy education of African American and African diasporic people, and specializes in critical language and literacy education for social equality.

The author had two loving parents and a stable home, but by her own volition, sought a life in the dirt of her poverty's ills. In this way, the significance of the ending was lost on me. There were no real reasons, other than being a young . Real Life , Amazing Inspiration S. Mccoy I just finished your book. One sitting I read it in 6 hours. Your story reminds of home. Every street you named i could picture it. And I don't think I can ever move back, I still hold so much pain there and my family have not and never will hold me down.
