Talk:A Piece of Cake: A Memoir

Untitled

I have restored the cleanup tag .. I think this biography "Cupcake Brown's mother died in 1976, when Cupcake was just 11. A germaphobic and abusive stranger took custody of Cupcake and her brother, after their father was interested in nothing but their social security checks. Their foster mother encouraged her discharged nephew to rape Cupcake repeatedly. She learned how to drink, smoke marijuana, and charge for sex as a prostitute. Her next foster father, ubder the guise of "cheerleading practice" traded her LSD and cocaine for oral sex. She moved in with her great aunt in South Central L.A., where she joined a gang. She narrowly survived a shooting when she was barely 16, and she left the gang. Her boyfriend taught her how to freebase and introduced her to crack. Soon, she was a trash-can junkie, indulging in as many drugs as she could find. When she woke up behind a dumpster one morning, scarcely-dressed and more than near death, she admitted that she needed help.", whilst a reasonable start (and a bit of tidying by myself) could still do with a lot of work, as could the rest of the article. I'd be almost tempted to merge the article into Cupcake Brown at the moment, as they seem practically identical. Of course the book and the author deserve separate articles, but they ought to be distinct in that one is about the book, and the other about the author. No?
