Davis grew up in Central Falls, Rhode Island in a crumbling building, infested with rats, often with no hot water, gas or electricity. She wet the bed until she is 14. "I reeked of urine" she writes in Finding Me. Bullied constantly at school, there was violence at home too. Her biggest fear? "My father is going to beat my mom to death one day."
