Overview

This unscripted and nontraditional first book in her duology reveals the first years of early life from the cold hospital room where she took her first breath to the unstable, unpredictable streets that shaped her childhood, Cassandra Barron's life has been a fight for survival. Caught between addiction, violence, and abandonment, she learned early how to raise herself in a world that kept shifting beneath her feet. Through gang-ridden neighborhoods, roach-filled apartments, and nights spent listening for danger, her story follows every place she had to learn to endure. But woven through the chaos is the steady presence of the one person who never gave up on her-her Nana. In a life marked by trauma, poverty, and hard choices, the warmth of Nana's home becomes the closest thing to safety Cassandra ever knows. Even as grief, teenage pregnancy, and emotional abuse threaten to break her, she carries the quiet strength that was poured into her. Raw, honest, and deeply human, this memoir is a journey through wreckage, resilience, and the long path back to oneself. Cassandra's story is not just about what she survived, but how she reclaimed her voice, rebuilt her life, and found her way toward healing-even when the world tried to silence her.
