If Baby Girl had known as a child what she discovered as an adult, she would not have suffered from the poor decisions she made in her life. She was born into a family in which both of her parents verbally abused each other, creating a very tense home environment. When her parents finally decided to separate, her father kicked her mother out of the house. When she moved away, she took Baby Girl's baby brother with her.
Although she was living with her father, she was left to fend for herself more often than not and free to do pretty much whatever she wanted. Eventually, however, she found herself living with family friends who molested her. Life was tough for her as she grew older; she went from being the apple of her father's eye to being the object of desire for many pimps and drug dealers. Without her mother's guidance and love, this lifestyle soon led Baby Girl down the path of destruction. She turned tricks and smuggled drugs for her kingpin boyfriend.
I'm Baby Girl, and This Is My Story is a powerful novel that will inspire women to find a voice and to discover their inner strength.
