Description
In Uncle Sam’s Daughter, Deidra Perry shares her riveting, true story as she navigates through times of abandonment, betrayal, disappointment and sexual assault in becoming a woman. An American coming of age story, Uncle Sam’s Daughter dives into Deidra’s time in the military and the social challenges of being raised in the PJs (her word for ‘the projects’).
This journal of deep self-reflection will take you on an unforgettable journey through the range of necessary human emotions and healing to meet Uncle Sam’s Daughter, herself!
Uncle Sam’s Daughter is Deidra’s first published book. She also hosts the exciting Uncle Sam’s Daughter: The Podcast.
