About this audiobook
Weeds Like Us is the stunning memoir from Janiva Magness, six years in the writing and a lifetime in the making.

"Violence, bullying, incest, addiction and alcoholism, rape, clinical depression, parental suicide--add it all up. By the time I was a 14 year-old runaway, I felt in many ways both hypnotized and a prisoner to the past. I was always a lonely kid. I turned into a lonely adolescent, a deeply troubled teenager and an angry young woman with a lot of justifiable demons."
-Janiva Magness
