Who is Rapture?

Origin Sharona Jackson came from an extremely poor family that consisted four older brothers (one of whom is Willie Jackson ) and a sister. Her parents were never married and her abusive father drank himself to death. Her mother, a prostitute, disappeared when Sharona was quite young, leaving the young woman to live in the streets and turn to her mother’s occupation for survival, and she took on the nick-name Rapture. Eventually, she fell in with a group of girls who worked for a pimp named Bryan Louis Leroy Walker. After he had beaten another prostitute, named Tracey Brown, to death with a baseball bat, Rapture fled. She moved to another area of town and tried to get things together there.
