Novels by Mesha Rookard

In this dazzling memoir, Rookard brings to life her experience growing up in an alcoholic home in the projects, and the emotional burdens that ultimately led her life to have unravelled by the age of 18. Written in the heart of 2020’s Black Lives Matter movement, Rookard sheds light on the complexities of growing up in 1990’s Black America, and details how she thrived in spite of the odds. Author of successful children’s empowerment book “What The Heck is Happening?”, Rookard’s personal memoir is a raw tale of loss, betrayal, and extraordinary triumph that pulls no punches, but is also a tender and moving testimony to the power of self-reflection, self-love and determination as Rookard untangles the journey she undertook to carve out a successful life on her own terms.
