Finalist for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding LiteratureFinalist for a 2018 Southern Book Prize for Biography and HistoryI pounced on [Ms. Pats] book. And I thought she did such a great job...God, [Rabbit] was entertaining. And I recommended it to so many people. David Sedaris, author of the New York Times bestseller CalypsoAn absolute mustread Shondaland[Rabbit] tells how it went down with brutal honesty and outrageous humor New York TimesI know a lot of people think they know what its like to grow up in the hood. Like maybe they watched a couple of seasons of The Wire and they got the shit all figured out. But TV doesnt tell the whole story. Ms. PatThey called her Rabbit.Patricia Williams (aka Ms. Pat) was born and raised in Atlanta at the height of the crack epidemic. One of five children, Pat watched as her mother struggled to get by on charity, cons, and petty crimes. At age seven, Pat was taught to roll drunks for money. At twelve, she was targeted for sex by a man eight years her senior. By thirteen, she was pregnant. By fifteen, Pat was a mother of two.Alone at sixteen, Pat was determined to make a better life for her children. But with no job skills and an eighthgrade education, her options were limited. She learned quickly that hustling and humor were the only tools she had to survive. Rabbit is an unflinching memoir of cinematic scope and unexpected humor. With wisdom and humor, Pat gives us a rare glimpse of what its really like to be a black mom in America.
