In this real-life rags-to-riches story, a tenacious lawyer, state official and activist recounts her childhood in foster homes and on the streets with her four siblings, revealing a life of horrible abuse in the shadows between Manhattan and the Hamptons. -Publisher Summary
"Calcaterra narrates her story in the present tense, which adds a painful immediacy and urgency to an already gut-wrenching account.
