À propos de cet audio

New York Times best seller

The heart-wrenching, uplifting tale about a woman named Cupcake

“[Cupcake] Brown’s confessional...memoir is one you can’t easily put down. Her life is nothing short of a miracle.” (Chicago Sun-Times)

There are shelves of memoirs about overcoming the death of a parent, childhood abuse, rape, drug addiction, miscarriage, alcoholism, hustling, gangbanging, near-death injuries, drug dealing, prostitution, and homelessness.

Cupcake Brown survived all these things before she’d even turned 20. And that’s when things got interesting....Orphaned by the death of her mother and left in the hands of a sadistic foster parent, young Cupcake Brown learned to survive by turning tricks, downing hard liquor, and ingesting every drug she could find while hitchhiking up and down the California coast. She stumbled into gangbanging, drug dealing, hustling, prostitution, theft, and, eventually, the best scam of all: a series of 9-to-5 jobs.

A Piece of Cake is unlike any memoir you’ll ever read. Moving in its frankness, this is the most satisfying, startlingly funny, and genuinely affecting tour through hell you’ll ever take.

Praise for A Piece of Cake

“[Brown] reflects now with insight and honesty on her experiences....An engaging account...of a remarkable life filled with pain and wisdom, hope and redemption.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

“Dazzles you with the amazing change that is possible in one lifetime.” (Washington Post)

I’ve read this book twice now the short version was the first time And I loved it some years
Later which is now I purchased again thru audible but did the long version and again I loved it mostly until the last maybe 2 maybe 3
Chapters I found them to be too
Much about god and a little exaggerated and some stuff seemed a little unbelievable but overall I still enjoyed it

Just my take

It's hard to believe this is true and that anyone had to endure such a hard go at life. I have the hard copy but this edition has more details and I have recommended to all my friends. There are parts that make you cringe, cry and laugh. I have never read a book like this in my life.
Thank you Cupcake for sharing your story!
