‘A Piece of Cake; a memoir’, Written by Cupcake Brown
From beloved daughter to abused foster child to crack addict, this is the heart-wrenching true story of a girl named Cupcake Brown.
The harrowing story of a life filled with pain and wisdom, hope and redemption.
Following her mother’s death, Cupcake was just eleven years old when she entered the child welfare system. Moved from one disastrous placement to the next she was, like so many, neglected and sexually abused. She developed a massive appetite for drugs and alcohol – an appetite fed by hustling and turning tricks – and before long, stumbled headlong into the wild, notoriously dangerous world of the gangsta.
But ironically, it was Cupcake’s rapid descent into the nightmare of crack cocaine addition that finally saved her. After one crack binge she woke up behind a dumpster. Half dressed and more than half-dead, she finally knew she had to change her life or die.
Brutally frank, startlingly funny, A Piece of Cake is the remarkable true story of a resilient spirit who took on the worst of contemporary urban life and survived it. It is also the most genuinely affecting rollercoaster ride through hell and back that you will ever take.
Cupcake Brown. (2006) A Piece of Cake; a memoir. Great Britain, Bantam Books.
