What you are about to read is based on my life and everything I went through since I was born until now. ItÕs mainly about my mom being in and out of jail from the time I was eight years old until now. I never knew my dad, so my mother has been a single parent all of my life. I call my book ÒJust SmileÓ because no matter what I was going through, at the end of the day I just had to smile and be strong.
