Welcome back to the second edition of The Reader's Den!
A brief summary:
A Piece of Cake is the autobiography of Cupcake Brown. Cupcake (not her birth name) finds herself wrenched from a loving home at a young age and placed with a sadistic woman, her privileged birth daughter, and a handful of other foster-care children. Running away leads into deeper trouble, with brushes with prostitution, gangs, and heavy drug use. Ultimately uplifting, this memoir documents her rise from difficult circumstances to becoming a functioning, but drug abusing, employee, to becoming a stable and sober paralegal. Those who enjoyed James Frey's A Million Little Pieces will also enjoy this book.

I'm looking forward to this month's discussion!! I haven't read a memoir in quite some time! It will be a nice change.
