THE MAD HOUSE DIARIES: My Name is Shanice... My name is Shanice Patricia Jackson , and I am Fourteen years old. I stand 5ft 6 inches tall and my body fits the criteria that seems to qualify me as a grown woman to the drunken men who like to stand in front of the corner liquor store. Shanice is a Harlem born teenager with the hopes and dreams of one day escaping the Mad House in which she currently lives with her abusive mother, two sisters and her thumb-sucking little brother. But when she is forced to fend for herself after being abandoned, Shanice is lured into a world that is unapologetic, rougher and bigger than any of her childhood daydreams. Thought Provoking and packed with important life lessons for self-assessment, consequences and family pathologies.
