Requests:  0 Summary:  "Riveting, honest, and raw, I Can Take It From Here recounts Lisa Forbes's harrowing journey into darkness -- including a fourteen-year-long stint in a maximum-security prison -- and her fierce resolve to understand the effects of the trauma she endured, to take personal responsibility for her actions, and to ensure that her history does not dictate her destiny. The youngest of six children, Lisa grew up in a Chicago housing project where she endured sexual, religious, and emotional abuse as a little girl. A voracious reader, she graduated high school at 15 and went to work as a secretary in a downtown insurance office, became pregnant at 16 and, at 19, unexpectedly and uncharacteristically committed a violent act, stabbing and killing the father of her daughter. Providing powerful insights into what we as a society need to learn and confront in the ongoing epidemic of mass re-incarceration, Lisa is a stunning example of an individual who through determination, knowledge, and hard work has been able to reclaim her own life. The book ends with Lisa's rousing call to action to support the people--as well as the shorthanded employers--who need the help, and need each other, more than ever."--Provided by Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Forbes Fo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.8292 Fo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
