520 "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"--Amazon.
