Amnesia by Megen C Williams

Who Am I? That's what the author of this book is trying to figure out. Amnesia is a fictionalized account of the author's true life story starting with her molestation by a 'step-uncle' at the age of nine. Her nightmare begins during a family backyard barbecue where she's trying to understand what is happening to her. The story takes us through her promiscuous pre-teens where she tries to get control of her life through sex, then to her teenage years where she gets involved with one of the city's most infamous drug dealers. A common story, she becomes pregnant before she graduates from high school. But with an uncommon twist, after getting an ultimatum from her parents to either abort the pregnancy or move out, the 'A' student and self-professed 'daddy's girl' runs from her middle-class family to a life of crime and street hustling with a known criminal. As the author moves from one bad relationship to the next, her life unravels. But thanks to the grandmother who won't give up, an unlikely shop-lifter-turned-best friend and the ghosts of her ancestors, she pushes on. In the end, this little girl who thinks she needs the love of any man finds out what she really needs is to know herself. Amnesia is a work of Urban Fiction that speaks through the voice of a young African American girl trying to make sense of her tragedy by pushing herself into a life of sex and drugs. Based on a true story, each page will leave the reader wanting more and more to the very end.
