Publisher Description
Sequoya was neglected, abused, starved, and malnourished. Amazingly she survived the turmoil of her past. With parents who cared more about their next hit of Crack Cocaine than the well being of their children, it is amazing Sequoya is still in her right mind. She cried out for help; while everyone including friends and family turned their back. Her own mother threw her for a loop when she placed her daughters' lives on the line for the love of a man who hung her out of a three story window. Going to school was her only peace until her classmates made her life a living hell. School officials and The Child Welfare Administration ignored the signs of abuse and believed the lies that were fed to them. Surrounded by rape, lies, drugs, and alcohol, Sequoya cries out to someone she never knew. She was told never to talk to strangers, but a stranger saved her life.

Poor value
Don't get me wrong, I found the book (if you can call it a book) quite moving and liked the style of writing. But really, over £5.00 (about $9.50) for the recollection of a life minimised into a piece of writing no longer than an article, I found disappointing. I have purchased books of equal or better writing quality for slightly less money yet quadruple the length.
