Riveting, poignant, and necessary. You can tell that Bianca means every word she says, so you believe in her story. Who better to address the violence in Chicago than someone who has lived it? --Vic Mensa, rapper, songwriter, and producer Bianca is the real f*cking deal. Every harrowing story of hers is much more than one person should experience in her lifetime, and she has survived dozens of them. The fact that she is still alive and using her every remaining dear breath to now serve humanity rather than deplete it is inspiring. --Christian Picciolini, author White American Youth When I read In Deep I was taken to the streets and prisons of Chicago and was sucked into Bianca's life. It is an unbelievable account of drugs, prostitution, mafia, and rock 'n' roll. I couldn't put it down! I felt like I had lived it with her. --Carmine Appice, legendary rock drummer, author of Stick It! A riveting, raw, and brutally honest portrayal of a roller-coaster street life fueled by gang violence and drug addiction; a real page-turner that sucks you in from the get-go and takes you on an adventure you can only imagine in your wildest dreams. Awe-inspiring and nothing short of a miracle, Bianca is a force to be reckoned with and an unlikely heroine and role model. She has proved that nothing is impossible and it's never too late. --Vera Ramone King, author of Poisoned Heart A harrowing, heart-wrenching account of addiction, jail time, redemption, and renewal, In Deep will inspire you to go out and make a difference yourself. After almost losing her own life (over and over again!), Bianca has saved many others' lives and uplifted countless more with her fierce, fearless determination and never-take-no-for-an-answer brassy sass. --Pamela Des Barres, author of I'm with the Band
