dealing with several severe mental illnesses, and how she survived
almost insurmountable odds and unbearable public scrutiny to become the
strong, self-assured woman she is today.
As a reality TV stalwart and one of the original stars of what's become
a massive franchise, Amber Portwood has been the subject of media
curiosity and public scrutiny for almost thirteen years of her
life--since the age of seventeen. Throughout the years, Amber has
struggled with up to five severe mental disorders that, especially when
grouped together, would bring even the heartiest among us to their
knees. Currently serving out her five years of probation for a widely
publicized fight with the father of her son, Amber has been on a
rollercoaster of experiences since she famously emerged from prison
almost eight years ago. Now, she is finally ready to share the painful
and emotional journey that has brought her to the more stable and
productive life she's leading today.
This book chronicles Amber's journey with painstaking specificity, as
she takes the reader through her harrowing battle with mental illness.
Her story serves as a triumphant tale of rebirth, as Amber finally
conquers her demons and begins her road to a healthy and happy life.
