    About this ebook

    A collection of poems, moments, and memories as told by a recovered addict. "Where We Came From" follows a young woman's journey from adolescent drug addiction to becoming a struggling artist living in New York City. It is a story of reclaiming one's past in order to become triumphant and free. Dekko's work is deeply personal, vibrantly retrospective, and unapologetically honest.
