Summary
"Weeds like us is the stunning memoir from Janiva Magness, six years in the writing and a lifetime in the making. This Grammy nominated artist's voice possesses an earthy, raw honesty and beauty born from her life experiences. She has been given the Blues highest honors. Now comes the first edition of her miraculously and deeply moving story about a life worth living"--Page 4 of cover"'Violence, bullying, incest, addiction and alcoholism, rape, clinical depression, parental suicide--add it all up. By the time I was a 14-year-old run-away, I felt in many ways both hypnotized and a prisoner to the past. I was always a lonely kid. I turned into a lonely adolescent, a deeply troubled teenager and an angry young woman with a lot of justifiable demons"'--Janiva Magness"--Page 4 of cover
