Consumed by grief and without access to professional help, Susan self-medicated, becoming addicted first to cocaine, then crack. As a resident of South Los Angeles, a black community under siege in the War on Drugs, it was but a matter of time before Susan was arrested. She cycled in and out of prison for over fifteen years; never was she offered therapy or treatment for addiction. On her own, she eventually found a private drug rehabilitation facility. Once clean, Susan dedicated her life to supporting women facing similar struggles"-- Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20240403. 586 $a Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice. 586 $a NAACP Image Award. 600 1 $a Burton, Susan $c Founder of A New Way of Life (Organization.) 650 $a Prison reformers $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Prison reformers. 650 $a Women prisoners $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Women prisoners $z United States. 650 $a Women prisoners. 650 $a African American women social reformers $v Biography. 650 $a African American women social reformers. 650 7 $a Abused women $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Abused women. 650 $a Women drug addicts $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Women drug addicts. 650 $a Women ex-convicts $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Women ex-convicts. 650 6 $a Réformateurs de prison $z Ãtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Prisonnières $z Ãtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Prisonnières $z Ãtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Réformatrices sociales noires américaines $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Femmes victimes de violence $z Ãtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Femmes toxicomanes $z Ãtats-Unis $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Ex-détenues $z Ãtats-Unis $v Biographies. 651 7 $a United States. 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works.) 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Biographies. 700 $a Lynn, Cari, $e author. 700 $a Alexander, Michelle, $e writer of foreword. 710 $a Becoming Ms. Burton (Text). 941 $a 1 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240705011114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB7D211C3A9311EF8D1FA94A4FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
