Ms. American Dream
From the author of the acclaimed and ârivetingâ (HuffPost) memoir Rabbit and star of BETâs The Ms. Pat Show, a heartfelt, raw, and hilarious new memoir about rising from strife to success, tackling obstacles, and celebrating your wins with a laugh.
âAmerica is supposed to be the land of opportunityâwhere any poor kid can grow up to become a millionaire. Thatâs the story. But Iâma tell you how it really went down.â
Before she was the star of the Emmy-nominated smash sitcom The Ms. Pat Show, before the Netflix specials, sold-out tours, and her critically acclaimed memoir, Rabbit, Ms. Pat was a fifteen-year-old eighth-grade dropout raising two babies in one of Atlantaâs poorest neighborhoods. With no mentor, no road map, and no safety net, she wasnât chasing the American Dream. She was told it wasnât meant for people like her.
If youâd seen her back then, you wouldnât have bet on a happy ending.
And yetâŠlook at her now.
In Ms. American Dream, Ms. Pat picks up where Rabbit left offâchronicling the hard-fought climb from food stamps and Section 8 housing to television deals, Hollywood writersâ rooms, and a suburban life so comfortable her doghouse has its own built-in washer and dryer.
In a country where the rich get richer and regular folks are told to âwork harder,â Ms. Pat learned the rules of a system that wasnât built for her to win. She outmaneuvered caseworkers, bill collectors, con artists, and hustlers. She found her place in an industry where she was told she didnât belong.
Raw, fearless, and laugh-out-loud funny, Ms. American Dream is not your average rags-to-riches Hollywood storyâitâs a sharp, hilarious look at class, strategy, and reinvention.
