NEW YORK TIMESÂ BESTSELLER âĒ The heart-wrenching, uplifting tale about a woman named Cupcake
â[Cupcake] Brownâs confessional . . . memoir is one you canât easily put down. Her life is nothing short of a miracle.ââChicago Sun-Times
There are shelves of memoirs about overcoming the death of a parent, childhood abuse, rape, drug addiction, miscarriage, alcoholism, hustling, gangbanging, near-death injuries, drug dealing, prostitution, and homelessness.
Cupcake Brown survived all these things before sheâd even turned twenty.Â
And thatâs when things got interesting. . .Â
Orphaned by the death of her mother and left in the hands of a sadistic foster parent, young Cupcake Brown learned to survive by turning tricks, downing hard liquor, and ingesting every drug she could find while hitchhiking up and down the California coast. She stumbled into gangbanging, drug dealing, hustling, prostitution, theft, and, eventually, the best scam of all: a series of 9-to-5 jobs.Â
A Piece of Cake is unlike any memoir youâll ever read. Moving in its frankness, this is the most satisfying, startlingly funny, and genuinely affecting tour through hell youâll ever take.
Praise for A Piece of Cake
