Cupcake Brown lived through some of the worst-imaginable events - most of which occurred (or began) during a young childhood, and beginning with finding her mother's dead body one morning at age 11. Brown accounts fifteen+ years of terrible situations and horrific experiences with physical, emotional, and mental abuse, driving a young child into substance abuse and prostitution, before eventually seeking out counseling and rehabilitation. Brown's writing is powerful, gripping, and edgy, painting a clear picture of the disturbing effects of drug use and alcoholism, and providing the reader with a greater understanding of how a life can swiftly change from happy-go-lucky to dark and dreary. Her account evokes sympathy/empathy from the reader, bringing her or him through an emotional journey that ends with hope. A fantastic read for anyone seeking to understand substance abuse and addiction.   hide

This book was excellent, a page turner. Cupcake Brown shows that no matter where you come from you can still make it if you just have faith and give it your all.

This was an incredible, just amazingly inspirational book! It just confirms that with God, nothing, absolutely nothing is too difficult.

Good read - but I'm not sure it's 100% real.

absolutely incredible!!!! everyone NEEDS to read it!!! everyone read it!!

Cupcake Brown is an intriguing story of how an African-American young lady experiences abuse and family betrayal. This leads her to a life of prostitution, gang violence and crack addiction. But she overcomes it all! It's a terrific read!
