WILD CHILD: MY RATCHET DAUGHTER

When Keisha Jackson turned eighteen she thought she knew everything, ignoring her mothers wise words. After school fights, talking back, sneaking in late, thug boyfriends, finding her daughter having unprotected sex and even a night as a stripper, her mother has had enough.

Keisha is cast out into the cold and unfeeling world to learn to become a woman. Moving in with her up to no good friend Montana, she embarks on a journey that takes her from hell and back. Along the way she encounters domestic violence, destructive relationships, emotional abuse, manipulation, bizarre sexual encounters, prostitution and the world’s most appealing pimp. Just before Keisha hit’s rock bottom everything changes.

Will she continue in her illegal ways? Will she ever find a stable relationship? Will an absent father be cast aside or be a saving grace? Will a mother who is aware of her activity disown her? Will she ever be truly happy? Will she ever find love?

These questions and more are answered in Wild Child, a novel that not only documents the life of a black girl lost, but gives her perspective on how to change. The author is quoted as saying, “No one ever loves the black girl lost in our literature. I wanted to show love to the underdog, because that is not only what the main character is, but what I am. I wanted to write a book that show’s no matter what hell you go through you can turn your life around.” A MUST READ!!!
