Leaving Breezy Street : a memoir  Cover Image Book Book

Leaving Breezy Street : a memoir / Brenda Myers-Powell with April Reynolds.

Myers-Powell, Brenda, (author.). Reynolds, April, (author.).

Summary:

"What did Brenda Myers-Powell want? When she turned to prostitution at the age of fifteen, she wanted to support her two baby daughters and have a little money for herself. She was pretty and funny as hell, and although she called herself "Breezy," she was also tough--a survivor in every sense of the word. Over the next twenty-five years, she would move across the country, finding new pimps, parties, drugs, and endless, profound heartache. And she would begin to want something else, something huge: a life of dignity, self-acceptance, and love. Astonishingly, she managed to find the strength to break from an unsparing world and save not only herself but also future Breezys. We have no say into which worlds we are born. But sometimes we can find a way out."-- Provided by publisher.
