The book charts the true-life story of Lizzie, an unwanted, tiny, black baby girl who was unceremoniously abandoned at birth by her delinquent teenage mother, Shirley Rose, who left her in a predominantly white town and her fight of coming to terms with her lot after being dumped on her racist family.
After surviving years of relentless bullying and racial abuse Lizzie found herself the master of her own destiny, deciding she had one of two choices: either sink or swim.

After a DNA test revealed the shocking and earth-shattering truth about her "deliberately hidden beginnings" Lizzie, using all the wit and cunning that she had learned surviving on one of England's most brutal council estates, decided it was time to swim faster than she'd ever done before!

Join Lizzie on her brutally honest true-life story and her long journey fraught with lots of tears and buckets of laughter on this you-couldn't-make-it-up, funny and very personal and sometimes shocking tale of self-discovery, determination, loss, and true love.
