Publisher Description

Felicia Pearson, who starred of the acclaimed television series The Wire, reveals her incredible, hard-knock life story, one that dramatically parallels her television character.

While Felicia is a brilliant actor who played a truly chilling role, what's most remarkable about "Snoop" is what she has overcome in her life. Snoop was born a three-pound cross-eyed crack baby in East Baltimore. Those streets are among the toughest in the world, but Snoop was tougher. The runt of the ghetto showed an early aptitude for drug slinging and violence and thrived as a baby gangsta until she landed in Jessup state penitentiary after killing a woman in self-defense. There she rebelled violently against the system, and it was only through the cosmic intervention of her mentor, Uncle Loney, that she turned her life around. Eventually, Snoop was discovered in a nightclub by one of The Wire's cast members and quickly recruited to be one of television's most frightening and intriguing villains.

While the story of coming up from the hood has been told by Antwone Fisher and Chris Gardner, among others, Snoop's tale goes far deeper into The Life than any previous books. And like Mary Karr's story, Snoop's is a woman's story from a fresh point of view. She defied traditional conventions of gender and sexual preference on the hardest streets in America and in front of millions of viewers on TV.

Beautiful

This book felt like a glimpse into truth without reservation. Exposing vulnerabilities as much as success is a rarity in today’s society. Much respect to Felicia Snoop Pearson for sharing her story!

Grace after Midnight

Great little book! Snoop's voice throughout was both sensitive and strong and remained beautifully truthful to the end.
I'm going to share parts of it with my Senior English class!

Grace After Midnight

I really enjoyed this book. The descriptiveness of the book I can imagine everything in detail as if it was in front of me. I would love to see this book turned in to a TV movie or HBO movie. Snoop is truly blessed and I hope she is still doing well! I thank her for sharing her story. I believe her story will save and touch the lives of people just like her.
