How I Came to Be

Sadie Iacono tells her own deeply personal, devastatingly raw story of adoption, parental drug abuse, sexual assault, and personal transformation in this gut-wrenching memoir, How I Came to Be.The result is a book that cuts to the core of a brutally painful reality; that one in every five girls has been a victim of rape, sexual abuse, or attempted sexual assault by the age of seventeen.In this gritty true telling of one such story, there is no victim song. It is instead a song of triumph, of rising above, of conquering fear and hate with the help of a supportive community.Sadie's is a genuine, unguarded voice that speaks her truth with unflinching honesty. How I Came to Be is a courageous story that is as unsettling to read as it is impossible to ignore.A book you will not soon forget.
