They call me Sour. The opposite of sweet. Shanking, stabbing, steaming, robbing, I did it all, rolling with the Man Dem. I did it because I was bad. I did it because I had heart. And the reason I reckon I got away with it for so long? Because I was a girl.SOUR is the true story of a former Brixton gang girl, drug dealer and full-time criminal. A member of the Younger 28s, a notorious gang that terrorised the postcodes around Brixton in the 90s, Sour escapes a troubled family life to immerse herself in the street life of likking and linking. She never leaves her house without a knife. At the age of fifteen, she stabs an innocent man in the street, earning her unrivalled respect and ‘Top-Dog’ status amongst her crew. She believes she is invincible.But the consequences of her actions are soon to catch up with her. Waking for the second time in two weeks in a hospital bed, to the news that she is pregnant, she realises it’s time to turn her life around. Motherhood will be a rude awakening, but it may also be her saving grace.Told with raw emotions and ferocious honesty, this is the real, on-the-record, story of one woman’s descent down the rabbit hole of gangland, and her efforts, as a daughter, mother and girlfriend, to claw herself out.This autobiography is a raw and personal account of a life lived on the edge, a testament to the power of change and the resilience of the human spirit. Tracey Miller's Sour is a best-selling memoir that delves deep into the underbelly of gangland Brixton, offering a unique perspective on a world few dare to tread.For fans of Danielle Marin (Top Girl), Sophie Hayes (Trafficked), Hannah Morgan (Nowhere to Hide), Sarah Wilson (Violated), and Lara Mcdonnell (Girl for Sale).
