Rabbit: A Memoir by Jeannine Amber, Patricia Williams
5.0
Patricia Williams has written a raw and sometimes brutal accounting of her childhood, somehow sprinkled through with humor. I feel like I had an inside look at growing up impoverished with an alcoholic mother - unprotected by her to the fullest extent. At an early age Williams was vulnerable to so many bad influences that she found herself a mother two times over by the age of 15.
Others took advantage of her, and then she continued on the path that they modeled for her. Until people showed up in her life to start giving her insight into how things could be different. Meanwhile, she fiercely protected her nieces and nephews when her sister could no longer care for them. It seems that Williams always made room to take children in in her life.
An extraordinary story about an extraordinary woman, who found her comedy chops to help her and her family rise up out of crime and despair.
