妮姬的母親患有偏執型精神分裂症，她的父親幾乎不存在她的生命裡，自小在往返於不同的寄養家庭，幼小的她受到非人道的對待，痛苦缺乏安全感讓她把所有的心事傾訴於紙上，寫作抒情讓她獲得了心靈上的解脫，因為文字是最可靠的朋友，沒有背叛只有一生相伴，本書以詩篇格式，自述有關作者深刻的成長記事。

In her own voice, acclaimed author and poet Nikki Grimes explores the truth of a harrowing childhood in a compelling and moving memoir in verse.

Growing up with a mother suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and a mostly absent father, Nikki Grimes found herself terrorized by babysitters, shunted from foster family to foster family, and preyed upon by those she trusted. At the age of six, she poured her pain onto a piece of paper late one night - and discovered the magic and impact of writing. For many years, Nikki's notebooks were her most enduing companions. In this accessible and inspiring memoir that will resonate with young readers and adults alike, Nikki shows how the power of those words helped her conquer the hazards - ordinary and extraordinary - of her life.
