“One stubborn girl’s journey into womanhood.”

Nobody Puts Crack Baby in a Corner chronicles the life and times of Author D.D. Greely.
Born in Oakland, California in the nineteen-eighties to drug addicted parents, she was abandoned by them very early on and entered the foster care system as an infant. She was taken into the home of a nice, young, middle class family in a safer part of the Bay Area, and they formed an incredible bond that would last a lifetime. In what seems to be the beginning of a Hollywood fairytale where the African American child is embraced by a Caucasian family and whisked off to safety and a happy ending, what’s the catch?
Growing up as a black child in a white family, she struggled with understanding and accepting who she was – historically, socially, and personally. The task of creating a life that would suit who she desired to be was made very difficult by the confusion she felt as she tried to figure out her place in the world, if there was a place for her at all.
As much as her abandonment issues filled her with the desire to be accepted and integrated with the people around her, she refused to let her core be changed. Acceptance was not worth the sacrifice of who she was designed to be – she wasn’t going to be compartmentalized and labeled – she was just too stubborn to be confined to the corner.
