Something Like Beautiful: One Single Mother's Story

"asha bandele has a poignant story to share in Something Like Beautiful. It is the love that comes through that makes this such a compelling tale." --Nikki Giovanni

Award-winning journalist, and author of The Prisoner's Wife and Daughter, and performance poet featured on HBO'S Def Poetry Jam, asha bandele once again writes from the heart in her lyrical and intimate memoir Something Like Beautiful--a moving story of love, loss, motherhood, and survival. Sharing the story of her struggles as a single black mother in New York City and her tragically self-destructive near-breakdown, asha bears her soul in a book Rebecca Walker, author of Baby Love, calls "courageous, profound, and achingly beautiful."
