Narrated by the author and Flame Monroe, great collaboration. Abuse and rape are part of the story. Carlotta goes on and with some key support and love finds home.

I’ve never seen this style of writing before and it had me hooked and riveted from beginning to end. The experience of a Black trans woman navigating the carceral system and reintegration into society is treated with a degree of respect, humor, and realness that it deserves but is rarely seen. Superb. 😘 CW for transphobia, SA, racism, homophobia, prison scenes, solitary confinement, drugs, & alcohol
