About this product

Product Information

The No.1 Sunday Times bestselling true story of Cupcake Brown- orphan, runaway, addict, a child turning tricks on the street until one morning on her journey through hell she woke up and knew she had to change her life or die. 'Phenomenal woman' The Oprah Magazine 'Dazzles you with the amazing change that is possible in one lifetime.' Washington Post - This is the heart-wrenching true story of a girl named Cupcake Brown. Orphan, runaway, addict, all before she was twenty. That's when things got really interesting... Cupcake was just eleven years old when, orphaned, she entered the child welfare system. Moved from one disastrous placement to the next, like so many, she was neglected and sexually abused. She fed her appetite for drink and drugs by selling the only thing she had. Her body. Before long she had stumbled head first into a world of gangs and extreme violence. After one crack binge she woke up behind a dumpster. Half-dressed and more than half-dead, she knew she had a choice. Change her life or die. Brutally frank and startlingly funny, A Piece of Cake is the remarkable true story of a resilient spirit who triumphed over the very worst that life could throw at her.

  • Emotionally fantastic

    This is my favourite book ever. I was bought this book as a present and loaned it out a few times and then it never came back. Hence buying it myself. The emotional path you are taken through is amazing. One minute you're laughing the next your crying and then you become so angry. This girls live was a rollercoaster. You can actually visualise and hear her, the words really ring in your ears. I can equate to part of her story and it's like I'm with during parts of it. It's truly amazing how she survived and became the person she did. So much respect for her.
