5 stars! This memoir was so good & very well written! I only read an article in People magazine months ago that recommended it & I‘m so glad I picked it up! Minka truly had a horrible upbringing with her Mom who worked as a stripper & them never having a roof over their heads that was theirs. It took hard work & determination & a few lucky breaks but Minka was able to break the cycle and find success. I highly recommend this one!
