Who am I? What did I do last night? Where am I? Am I dead? These were the questions the young lady in this story was constantly repeating to herself. Dealing with the pain in her life by drinking so much alchol that she became numb to her emotions and was able to drown out the screaming inside her heard. Peace was what she was looking for, but could only find it in the bottom of a drink and then came the memory loss. This was a pretty good book that looked into the life of a young person who has a problem drowning their problems in a bottle. And it became such a habit to feel numb to the pain that it became her life and way of living and was the only thought that mattered, which is addiction.

NaTasha was used to living in the suburbs with her mother and her daily routine, aside from school, was ballet. In her community she was the only person with dark-colored skin and her best friend was as white as snow. Her grandmother, whom volunteered at a young teens shelter, offered her grand-daughter to come and spend the summer with her, living her recent life behind her. She chose to come and help at the youth center for girls and that is where she finally discovered who she really was. Where her roots came from and how to live the life of helping others reach their dreams and to also help find the answer of who she really is. I loved this book based on the fact of how you live your life doesnt always show who you really are down deep inside.
