I heard about this book while watching Ms. Pat on “The Breakfast Club”. I just started watching her show on BET+ & I was intrigued. I purchased this book on a Thursday & I finished it 2 days later. Definitely an inspiring story. How Ms. Pat made it out was nothing more than a miracle. There’s no excuses for any of us!

I loved every second of this book. It was so easy to read and I felt like I was listening to a friend tell me their life story.

Authentic, tragic, uplifting and funny

Anyone who’s ever thought that they were “less than”, needs to read this book. The best line toward the end is that she figured out that a lot of folks have a story. We all (including me and my 6 sibs) could’ve ended up like Sweetie or dead. Ms Pat knew there was something else for her. So happy she found it.

I saw her interview on The Breakfast Club and HAD to hear more. Her book did not disappoint.

I love love love Ms.Pat, hearing your life got me interested in knowing more about how my parents and grandparents were raised. Hopefully I can actually put the work into doing what you have inspired me to do (I won’t spill the beans until it’s done or at least started). Thank you for having the courage to share you life with us. I already got bet+ I’m READY for your show 😩😩 & movie ☺️ (speaking into existence) thank you again Ms. Pat I really pray I get to meet you one day ❤️ #stayblessed&humble

This book was awesome! I too grew up in the hood and saw many things first hand what Ms Pat went through as a child. I didn’t personally go through the same but I watched it around me and by the time my third child was born, a son, I was even more determined than before to get out. Thank you, Ms Pat for sharing your story!

Ms. Pat is my absolute favorite comedienne. I’ve heard her stories time and time again but never in the way that they’re described in this book! This book makes you feel just about every emotion possible and gives you a better insight to the personality that is Ms. Pat. A great read! And if you enjoy Ms. Pats Comedy as much as I do, check out her podcast The Patdown!

The brutal honesty of Rabbit’s life story touched me deeply. I appreciate the realness of it all. Anyone who reads this book, should feel inspired to face any challenge in their path and meet it head on! Highly recommend this to everyone.

What a roller coaster this read was. This will take you through moments of pure sadness and catapult you into moments of excitement of laughter. I think it’s was written beautifully and loved every bit of it.
