A Pot to Piss In: A Memoir
COMING IN APRIL 2023
As usual, Sagashus has a lot going on. Determined to assist her dad who suffers with dementia, provide for her six children, support an imprisoned fiancé, and grow a business that has no capital to scale, she juggles a lot. At the same time, she lives with the constant fear of being evicted and the reality that she and her children have nowhere to go. She stands at the intersection of the challenges that come with loving someone behind bars, being a black woman raising black children in a world that distrusts both, and trying to assist without offending an aging mom who is caring for and is extremely protective of a sickly father. Buying a home big enough to accommodate all of her responsibilities would ease a lot of problems, except she has neither the credit nor the cash to purchase any real estate, let alone one big enough to meet the demands of her life. And to do so, she has to find a way to overcome her suspicion of banks, survive the pandemic, conquer unexpected crises that threaten her mission and decide between staying behind with her loved ones or moving forward alone— without the very people that inspired her journey. But first, she has to close the gap between what she knows she needs and what she feels she deserves.
