In her own voice, acclaimed author and poet Nikki Grimes explores
the truth of a harrowing childhood in a compelling and moving
memoir in verse. Growing up with a mother suffering from paranoid
schizophrenia and a mostly absent father, Nikki Grimes found
herself terrorized by babysitters, shunted from foster family to
foster family, and preyed upon by those she trusted. At the age of
six, she poured her pain onto a piece of paper late one night - and
discovered the magic and impact of writing. For many years, Nikki's
notebooks were her most enduing companions. In this accessible and
inspiring memoir that will resonate with young readers and adults
alike, Nikki shows how the power of those words helped her conquer
the hazards - ordinary and extraordinary - of her life.
