Eye on Books BOOKCAST|Felicia Pearson "Grace After Midnight" Episode
Felicia Pearson didn't get off to a very good start in life -- born to a crack-addicted mother in East Baltimore, her childhood was spent in the company of some of Baltimore's toughest characters. Snoop, as she was eventually dubbed, became a "baby gangsta," killed a woman in self-defense at age 15, and wound up in prison. On being paroled, she nearly fell right back into the old, dangerous life, before a chance encounter in a nightclub with a cast member from HBO's gritty series "The Wire." Producers invited her down for an audition, and the rest is history, as Snoop became what's been described as "one of television's most frightening and intriguing villains." Her memoir is called "Grace After Midnight."
