What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This is no rage-to-riches story. In fact, it reads more like a miracle.”
“A gripping story about overcoming obstacles in the face of great adversity and finding hope in the most unlikely place-television.”–Ebony“A remarkable book about a remarkable lady…will encourage anyone who aspires to be bigger and better than what they are…an awesome book to give to a young person as a Christmas gift.”–Allhiphop.com“Apowerful story of someone trying to find her way in a dark world, realizing she can still choose her life’s direction even in tremendously difficult circumstances. Pearson’s narrative is spare, even poetic, rendering traumatic moments all the more powerful.”–Publishers Weekly“Felicia’s story is a reminder to me that through the depths of the worst unforeseen circumstances, that life can sometimes bring, the 2 things that we must never lose sight of, GOD’s Grace, and Hope. Felicia is a perfect example of one who learned this the hard way and will now, never lose her way again.”–Jamie Hector, NBC’s Heroes“Pearson’s memoir is even more horrifying than the cold-blooded killer she portrays on The Wire.”–Kirkus Reviews“Raw and thought provoking…told with a bitter sweet elegance…the story of a child who buried her pain and then filled her life with violent behavior. But Snoop’s journey is now a rainbow shining in the light of hope and wellness…and is a gift to us all.”–Terrie M. Williams, author of Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting“Read her intriguing life story…it’s a short, punchy ride of a book.”–Giant“This is no rage-to-riches story. In fact, it reads more like a miracle.”–Essence
