Kailyn Lowry is the feisty, unapologetic, tattooed beauty whose
determination to raise her son on her own terms has been documented on
MTV's critically acclaimed, hit series Teen Mom 2. Across five
seasons, fans have watched her grow from a vulnerable, pregnant teen
into a fiercely independent young mother. Through the breakup with the
father of her child and the ensuing custody battles, her struggle to
come to terms with her troubled childhood, her diagnosis with bipolar
disorder, and relentless online bullying, Kailyn has faced it all with
her head held high and her spirit intact.
But there is more to her story than what has been seen on television. In
a moving effort to finally put the past behind her, Kailyn shares her
troubled, often painful story and, for the first time, reveals the dark
secrets she has so closely guarded. Guided by the single principle of
helping other young girls like her, she takes the reader behind the
scenes, writing candidly about her desperate stay at a homeless shelter
to qualify for a program that would provide a safe home for her son,
breaking her silence on the question of her sexuality, and sharing the
traumatic sexual experiences that have left her deeply scarred.
Pride Over Pity is a raw, brutally honest, and ultimately inspiring
account of a young woman's resolve not only to survive but to succeed.
