- Synopsis
- Written with irreverent humor, this memoir recounts the author's experiences growing up in a working-class neighborhood in Connecticut and becoming a teenage mother. Bright and endlessly rebellious, she marries her baby's father, struggles to help him kick heroin addiction, and eventually winds up as a single mother on welfare. Through sheer determination and the help of good friends and social programs, she finally fulfills her dream of attending an elite college and becoming a writer. Donofrio writes honestly about her relationship with her son Jason, and shows that each helped the other grow up.
