Her stories range from the ridiculous - like the time she made her own tap shoes out of bottle caps or how the theme song of The Golden Girls landed her in the principal's office - to the sobering moments, like how she turned to stand-up comedy to grieve the heartbreaking loss of her mother, and how, years later, she's committed to giving back to the community that helped make her.Each significant moment of the audiobook relates to a song, and the resulting playlist is deeply moving, resonant, and unforgettable.
