Ordinary Hazards by Nikki Grimes
5.0
challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

Probably the most raw, but inspiring memoir I have ever read. I loved that, in spite of all the tragedy and awful things in her life, Grimes was able to escape through her writing and hold onto hope. Influential and a must read for people that are struggling with their own darkness in their lives.
