    About this audiobook

    "It took hitting rock bottom for me to realize that if I wanted something better for my girls, I had to learn to love myself first."

    Leah was first thrust under the reality television microscope when her teen pregnancy was documented on MTV's groundbreaking series, 16 and Pregnant. Since then, fans of Teen Mom 2 have watched her life play out on the small screen-from her struggle to rise to the challenges of motherhood, through her harrowing journey to find a diagnosis for one of her twin girls with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, and the collapse of two marriages. She has learned to live under the harsh glare of media scrutiny, yet there is a truth behind the reality that the cameras have never revealed.

    In her unflinching and honest memoir, Leah takes listeners behind the scenes and shares an intimate, often heartbreaking, portrait of her turbulent childhood in rural West Virginia, the rock bottom that forced her to reevaluate her life, and her triumphant break from toxic relationships and self-destructive cycles to live her life with hope, grace, and faith.

      It was ok just 8 below. The way she goes through her life wasn't what i was expecting. Most memoir i'll listen or read is for atleast, related to my resonance, or my point of view on handling life. But leah took a step in her life differently of what I could've imagined. It was a good book and yes it was brutal, some of her childhood relates to me as well. But i was still in shocked of how she responded in her life because really im gonna say it again, it is not what i've imagined of how she'll handle her life. It was good yet very traumatizing.

      i dont want to say it's 8 and not really 7, So in between.

      Leah did an amazing job writing her book and her raw honestly was amazing. She didn’t need to do that but I’m assuming this was healing for her. And I love the fact she was the narrator of her book. Made it so much better.

      This book is very well written and Leah opens up her life to us in a very candid way. As good as this book is I still feel it’s missing some depth. I felt like I was reading a book of vignettes instead of a audiobiography but I still give it 5 stars. Bravo Leah, you’re an inspiration for your girls. You did IT girl!

      I thought this was a good book. I thought it went together well. Growing up in the area Leah did, I thought it painted an accurate picture of how people live in Appalachia. I like that Leah narrated as well!
