Born and raised in Atlanta's most troubled neighborhood at the height of the crack epidemic, Comedian Patricia Williams, who, for years, went by her street name, Rabbit, was one of five children. Witnessing her alcoholic mother's struggles to get by on charity, cons, and petty crimes, Pat was taught to roll drunks for money at the tender age of seven. By 12, she was targeted for sex by a man eight years her senior, and by 13, she was pregnant. Alone at 16, Pat became a mother of two, determined to make a better life for her children, despite having no job skills and an eighth-grade education.

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. 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.

Hustling and humor were the only tools Pat had to survive. Not since Cupcake Brown's A Piece of Cake has there been a memoir this unforgettable. A remarkably bold and inspiring story of crime, motherhood, and redemption, Rabbit's journey is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity. Despite the challenges she faced, Pat's unwavering commitment to providing a better life for her children fueled her determination to break free from the cycle of poverty and despair.

In the face of daunting obstacles, Pat's resilience and resourcefulness shone through, as she navigated the harsh realities of life on the margins. Her story is a powerful reminder that the path to redemption is often paved with unimaginable struggles, but that the transformative power of love and the human spirit can transcend even the most seemingly insurmountable circumstances.

Rabbit's unflinching account offers a rare and invaluable perspective on the lived experiences of those who have been marginalized and overlooked by society. It is a testament to the strength and fortitude of those who refuse to be defined by their circumstances and who choose to fight for a better future, not just for themselves, but for their loved ones and their communities.
