Rabbit - A Memoir

Currently a stand-up comedian, the circumstances of Pat Williams's childhood was the furthest thing from a laugh. Nicknamed Rabbit, Pat grew up in a tough neighborgood in Atlanta. She had her first child at 14. She had her second at 15. During her teens, she became a drug dealer, was arrested numerous times, and was shot twice. It wasn't until she was 19 that she met a 21-year-old veteran who encouraged and helped her to get out of the "life." A remarkably bold and inspiring story of crime, motherhood, and redemption--not since Cupcake Brown's A Piece of Cake has there been a memoir this unforgettable.
