Tracy King
“Books saved me. As a child, buying a new book to own forever was the rarest of treats, but as I became a teenager it was a lifeline. I escaped to worlds far beyond my own small one, fed my starving imagination, and books showed me that change is possible. I dreamed that one day I would write my own, but did not know how someone like me could ever go about that.
My memoir LEARNING TO THINK is the story of how a little girl escaped a maze of poverty and trauma and learned to think for herself. It’s also about the life-changing influence of books, and how a chance encounter in a bookstore lit up an entirely new path. But mostly it’s about hope, knowledge, and love.”
– TRACY KING
