The '60s was a time of change in America, both good and not so good. The Vietnam war was culminating, and a peace movement was in full bloom, "Thanks to Dr Martin Luther King Jr." His relentless quest for nonviolent change was starting to resonate, as well as the Civil rights uprisings.Up in Harlem, New York, a child was born. A female child, whom would soon become an incest survivor, drug addict, and last but surely not least, a lesbian. Yes, lesbian. The dirty little word that good little Christian folk couldn't stomach, and still can't even today.Here is my memoir of the Darkness that turned on GODS light.Review:Pretty Little Bastard Child, is a thoroughly, thought-provoking nail biter of a read.The freshness of the author's writing is something to behold. In reading line for line, it never felt formal. She painted a picture and made me feel like I was in each scene of her life. What I thought would take weeks to read seemed like a fresh few hours of riveting page turning. I couldn't wait to get to "the next part". This (memoir) is a story of her internal struggle-to believe her own version of her life and to have the strength to break away from her past. It gives a glimpse into a way of life that most of us will never know, and it's an inspiring story of one woman's ability to change her future.
