Cupcake Brown survived all these things before she d even turned twenty.
And that s when things got interesting .
You have in your hands the strange, heart-wrenching, and exhilarating tale of a woman named Cupcake. It begins as the story of a girl orphaned twice over, once by the death of her mother and then again by a child welfare system that separated her from her stepfather and put her into the hands of an epically sadistic foster parent.

As Cupcake s troubles grow, so do her voice and spirit....
