In this book Lisa takes you through the inner most depths of her soul. From identity confusion of not knowing or understanding the difference between a boy and girl and which one she most identified with to molestation and sexual assault to catching her first felony at the age of 11. Lisa then takes you on a journey through the corridors of the gutter where she would find herself losing her virginity to a "trick," to buy her cap n gown to graduate high school with. Her story only darkens before it gets better as she finds herself 5 minutes away from sticking a needle in her arm. This book is filled with interesting facts and trials that will keep the reader engaged from start to finish.
