A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown is a wonderful memoir. This true story is heart wrenching and hard to read/listen to. I have been listening to it for a long time now and finally finished it this week. I had to continually turn off the CD and listen or read something else to be able to get through it. It is a great book in that it makes you laugh, cry, smile, and think. The entire time I was reading it I was routing for a happy ending. I had a feeling there was one as Cup is now a successful attorney and public speaker, but it took long hard work to get to that point for her.
Brown is one of the strongest women I have ever read about. She is a true survivor and an inspiration. This book was listened to at a time that I think was right for me to be listening to it. I have no idea how it ended up on my list but reading it, especially as a social worker, was very informative.
