Nikki Piedmont

Detroit Junkies Nikki Piedmont

This memoir is written in first person present and is a little over 65,000 words. From award-winning novelist Christian Freed: "Detroit. 1994. Nikki Piedmont is only three years old. The daughter of a prostitute and a career criminal, her life seems destined for failure. She is battling brain cancer and living in a condemned house while surrounded by drug addicts. Hope is little more than a whispered word. Against all odds, Nikki survives. She fights and scrapes for everything in her life, proving her worth along the way. Detroit Junkies is an emotional memoir of betrayal and personal growth. Nikki Piedmont goes from an improbable child never meant to live to finding success she could never have dreamed of. Nikki's tale is proof that we can accomplish anything with the right mindset and grit. Not only has she risen above the life she was given, Nikki has gone on to become a major influence for those in similar situations and a role model others emulate."
