Summary:  "I know a lot of people think they know what it's like to grow up in the hood. Like maybe they watched a couple of seasons of The Wire and they got the shit all figured out. But TV doesn't tell the whole story." – Ms. Pat. They called her Rabbit. Patricia Williams (aka Ms. Pat) was born and raised in Atlanta at the height of the crack epidemic. One of five children, Pat watched as her mother struggled to get by on charity, cons, and petty crimes. At age seven, Pat was taught to roll drunks for money. At twelve, she was targeted for sex by a man eight years her senior. By thirteen, she was pregnant. By fifteen, Pat was a mother of two. Alone at sixteen, 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. An unflinching memoir of cinematic scope and unexpected humor. Pat gives us a rare glimpse of what it's really like to be a black mom in America. Patricia "Ms. Pat" Williams is a stand-up comedian and actress, living in Indiannapolis. Genre:  Autobiographies. Other authors:  Amber, Jeannine.
