This is a great book about a young girl who struggles to overcome the death of a parent, poverty, abuse, drug addiction, rape, gang violence, miscarriage and several foster homes all before the age of 21. She went on to beat insurmountable odds to go to law school, graduate, and become a lawyer at one of the top law firms in the USA. She is now a practicing lawyer and motivational speaker. This is a true story and I found it extremely inspiring. If you have a chance to pick it up, it is a great read!
