If you like celebrity memoirs, you may still want to approach this one with a degree of trepidation. Felicia Pearson played Snoop in The Wire, and in real life she was pretty much the same as on screen, even down to her nickname “Snoop.” Born a crack baby in Baltimore City, Pearson was raised by a loving foster family, but her neighborhood was too great an influence to keep her safe from drugs and violence. Becoming a dealer herself, she felt she was prospering in her own distorted way, but when she killed a woman, she landed in prison for several years. Serving time in prison and the death of some of those close to her led Snoop to an epiphany about her life and the direction she was headed. That and one break would make all the difference. Grace after Midnight reveals a life of hardship and bad choices but also what can come, when finally that left-for-lost person gets the opportunity she needs, that one break that leads a lost person to a far better life.
