Born in prison and raised in a family bound by generational trauma and violence, Gaby King's earliest memories are shaped by chaos, pain, and fleeting moments of solace. Shifting between turbulent daddies and constant instability, her only anchor is her granny-a soothing presence who watches but never intervenes.
At just ten years old, Gaby is called by her granny to make an impossible choice: leave the only family she's ever known to save herself. Her journey through the care system is fraught with longing for a mother she cannot understand and a haunting need to be seen and valued.
As she navigates the treacherous waters of homelessness, heartbreak, and betrayal, Gaby struggles to make sense of a world that feels overwhelming and unwelcoming. Dreams of education and a better life seem always just out of reach, until hope appears in the form of a kind stranger, leading her toward a new beginning.
This is not just a memoir of survival but a raw and transformative story of resilience, identity, and the unyielding desire for love and belonging. With curiosity as her guide, Gaby finds the courage to protect her child, reclaim herself, and discover her worth-no matter the cost.
