About this listen
A remarkably bold and inspiring story of crime, motherhood, and redemption - not since Cupcake Brown's A Piece of Cake has there been a memoir this unforgettable.
You want to know about the struggle of growing up poor, black, and female? Ask any girl from any 'hood. You want to know what it takes to rise above your circumstances when all the cards are stacked against you? Ask me.
Comedian Patricia Williams, who, for years, went by her street name, Rabbit, was born and raised in Atlanta's most troubled neighborhood at the height of the crack epidemic.
One of five children, Pat watched as her alcoholic mother struggled to get by on charity, cons, and petty crimes. At age seven, Pat was taught to roll drunks for money. At 12, she was targeted for sex by a man eight years her senior; by 13, she was pregnant. By 15, Pat was a mother of two.
Alone at 16, Pat was determined to make a better life for her children. But with no job skills and an eighth-grade education, her options were limited. She learned quickly that hustling and humor were the only tools she had to survive.
Rabbit is an unflinching memoir of cinematic scope and unexpected humor that offers a rare glimpse into the harrowing reality of life on America's margins - a powerful true story of resilience, determination, and the transformative power of love.

Ms.Pat is a tour-de-force, with a story to tell
I was introduced to Ms Pat through the world of podcasts and found her humor on dealing with her past trauma both inspiring and riotous! she is a force to reckon with. Anyone that can make you laugh and cry simultaneously while telling you about getting shot is a true talent! A must read for all as this wonderful lady tells the truth in a tale, not only about the African-American experience... but of America's experience.. and everyone can relate to that.

Ms Pat will have you captivated in her honest telling of her childhood story to how she became a successful comedienne. Parts of this story broke my heart, but Ms Pat had me hooked, wanting to learn more about her. Fantastic read, highly recommend!
