Not for the squeamishBy jamesI liked this book. but its not an easy read--years of drug addiction and at risk behavior make for uncomfortable feelings in me as a reader. I kept wondering. how long before things start looking up for Rayya? The do...eventually. The most memorable scenes are when Rayya is questioned in the hospital by her "dying" mom. and the Rikers Island prison scenes.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. PrimalBy aprilI chose a five star rating because I hated having to put this book down while I tended to lifes chores. I read it in a day around doing some odd jobs but I certainly only wanted to be absorbed in the pages of this book. Rayya tells an honest raw story of an honest raw woman. I enjoyed reading this memoir and thank you Rayya for the day I spent along your path. Im a better person for it :) much love xo0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
