Now: actress, single working mother of teenage rock star, and weight-loss inspiration to millions. We all knew and loved Valerie Bertinelli years ago when she played girl-next-door cutie Barbara Cooper in the hit TV show One Day at a Time, and then starred in numerous TV movies. From wholesome primetime in America's living rooms, Valerie moved to late nights with the hardest-partying band of the decadent eighties when she became, at twenty, wife to rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Losing It is Valerie's frank account of her life backstage and in the spotlight. Here are the ups and downs of teen stardom, of her complicated marriage to a brilliant, tormented musical genius, and of her very public struggle with her weight. Surprising, uplifting, and empowering, Losing It takes you behind the scenes of Valerie's acting career and marriage, recalling the comforts, friendships, and problems of her television family, her close relationships with her parents and brothers, the stress and worries of being the wife of a rock star, and the joys of motherhood. Like many women, Valerie often remembers the state of her life by the food she ate and the numbers on her scale. So despite her celebrity, Valerie's voice is so down-to-earth, honest, and appealing that you'll feel as if you're talking with a girlfriend over coffee. Funny and candid, Valerie recounts her attempts to maintain a healthy self-image while dealing with social pressures to look and act a certain way, and to overcome career insecurities and relationship problems, all of which will be familiar to the hundreds of thousands of women who struggle every day with these same issues. From marital turmoil to the joys of a new career, from being named among Penthouse's ten sexiest women in the world to overhearing whispers about her weight gain in the grocery store, this is Valerie's inspiring journey as she finds new love, raises a terrific kid, and motivates other women as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig. |
| did valerie bertinelli's husband cheat on her: Enough Already Valerie Bertinelli, 2022-01-18 Beloved actress, Food Network personality, and New York Times bestselling author Valerie Bertinelli reflects on life at sixty and beyond. Behind the curtain of her happy on-screen persona, Valerie Bertinelli’s life has been no easy ride, especially when it comes to her own self-image and self-worth. She waged a war against herself for years, learning to equate her value to her appearance as a child star on One Day at a Time and punishing herself in order to fit into the unachievable Hollywood mold. She struggled to make her marriage to Eddie Van Halen — the true love of her life — work, despite all the rifts the rock-star lifestyle created between them. She then watched her son follow in his father’s footsteps, right up onto the stage of Van Halen concerts, and begin his own music career. And like so many women, she cared for her parents as their health declined and saw the roles of parent and child reverse. Through mourning the loss of her parents, discovering more about her family’s past, and realizing how short life really is when she and her son lost Eddie, Valerie finally said, “Enough already!” to a lifelong battle with the scale and found a new path forward to joy and connection. Despite hardships and the pressures of the media industry to be something she’s not, Valerie is, at last, accepting herself: she knows who she is, has discovered her self-worth, and has learned how to prioritize her health and happiness over her weight. With an intimate look into her insecurities, heartbreaks, losses, triumphs, and revelations, Enough Already is the story of Valerie’s sometimes humorous, sometimes raw, but always honest journey to love herself and find joy in the everyday, in family, and in the food and memories we share. “This thoughtful, bighearted book is sure to be a hit with Bertinelli fans and those with an appetite for stories of hard-won self-acceptance. A warmly intimate memoir.” – Kirkus Reviews “In a series of brutally frank essays, Bertinelli looks back on the emotional struggles and triumphs of her life. By turns raw and inspiring, this contains a little bit of wisdom for everyone.” – Publishers Weekly |

Rainbow in the Dark is a rollercoaster ride through the extraordinary highs and lows of Dio's life, and takes us from his early days as a street gang leader and Doo-wop singer in '60s Vegas through to his breakout success with Rainbow and Black Sabbath in the '70s and the stadiums of US metal in the '80s - ending in Dio's dressing room at Madison Square Garden, in June 1986, at the peak of his worldwide fame with Dio.

| did valerie bertinelli's husband cheat on her: Jackie, Janet & Lee J. Randy Taraborrelli, 2018-01-30 *THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* A dazzling biography of three of the most glamorous women of the 20th Century: Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, her mother Janet Lee Auchincloss, and her sister, Princess Lee Radziwill. “Do you know what the secret to happily-ever-after is?” Janet Bouvier Auchincloss would ask her daughters Jackie and Lee during their tea time. “Money and Power,” she would say. It was a lesson neither would ever forget. They followed in their mother’s footsteps after her marriages to the philandering socialite “Black Jack” Bouvier and the fabulously rich Standard Oil heir Hugh D. Auchincloss. Jacqueline Bouvier would marry John F. Kennedy and the story of their marriage is legendary, as is the story of her second marriage to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. Less well known is the story of her love affair with a world renowned architect and a British peer. Her sister, Lee, had liaisons with one and possibly both of Jackie's husbands, in addition to her own three marriages—to an illegitimate royal, a Polish prince and a Hollywood director. If the Bouvier women personified beauty, style and fashion, it was their lust for money and status that drove them to seek out powerful men, no matter what the cost to themselves or to those they stepped on in their ruthless climb to the top. Based on hundreds of new interviews with friends and family of the Bouviers, among them their own half-brother, as well as letters and journals, J. Randy Taraborrelli's book paints an extraordinary psychological portrait of two famous sisters and their ferociously ambitious mother. |

| did valerie bertinelli's husband cheat on her: Runnin' with the Devil Noel Monk, Joe Layden, 2017-06-13 The manager who shepherded Van Halen from obscurity to rock stardom goes behind the scenes to tell the complete, unadulterated story of David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, and the legendary band that changed rock music. Van Halen’s rise in the 1980s was one of the most thrilling the music world had ever seen—their mythos an epic party, a sweaty, sexy, never-ending rock extravaganza. During this unparalleled run of success, debauchery, and drama, no one was closer to the band than Noel Monk. A man who’d worked with some of rock’s biggest and most notorious names, Monk spent seven years with Van Halen, serving first as their tour manger then as their personal manager until 1985, when both he and David Lee Roth exited as controversy, backstabbing, and disappointment consumed the band. Throughout Van Halen’s meteoric rise and abrupt halt, this confidant, fixer, friend, and promoter saw it all and lived to tell. Now, for the first time, he shares the most outrageous escapades—from their coming of age to their most shocking behavior on the road; from Eddie’s courtship and high profile wedding to Valerie Bertinelli to the incredible drug use which would ultimately lead to everyone’s demise. Sharing never-before-told stories, Monk paints a compelling portrait of Eddie Van Halen, bringing into focus the unique combination of talent, vision, hardship, and naiveté that shaped one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time—and made him and his brother vulnerable to the trappings and failings of fame. Illustrated with dozens of rare photographs from Monk’s vaults, Runnin’ with the Devil is manna from rock heaven no Van Halen fan can miss. |

Itu ayahku dan tidak ada yang tahu, tapi itulah kenyataannya. Bagaimana sedihnya ditolak ayah sendiri? Getirnya harus merahasiakan fakta bahwa ayahmu salah satu orang paling terkenal di dunia? Seperti sinetron, tapi ini kisah nyata. Lisa Brennan-Jobs, putri sulung Steve Jobs, pencipta merek komputer dan gawai ternama, harus menanggung krisis identitas diri parah selama bertahun-tahun akibat hubungan keluarga yang rumit dan tidak stabil. Chrisann, ibu kandung Lisa, dan Steve Jobs tidak pernah berencana memiliki anak di usia muda. Gaya hidup Chrisann sebagai seorang seniman cenderung bebas, dan kondisi ekonominya terbatas. Ketika hubungan Chrisann dan Lisa memburuk, Lisa memutuskan untuk tinggal bersama sang ayah, yang kaya raya namun sering bersikap dingin kepadanya. Lisa berusaha keras untuk menjadi anak baik dan berprestasi, demi mencecap kasih sayang sang ayah. Tapi Steve Jobs tetap menjaga jarak dengan putrinya, membuat Lisa kecewa. Terkoyak antara benci dan cinta, Lisa berjuang untuk memahami dan menerima siapa dirinya. Tujuh tahun setelah Steve Jobs tiada akibat kanker pankreas, Lisa menghimpun keberanian untuk berbagi kisah hidupnya yang kontroversial. Inilah Small Fry, kisah Lisa Brennan-Jobs, yang menurut New York Times ditulis dengan “indah sekaligus memilukan”. NELAYAN KETIGA. Master, aku bertanya-tanya bagaimana ikan hidup di laut. NELAYAN PERTAMA. Yah, seperti manusia hidup di darat; yang besar-besar menyantap yang kecil-kecil. Tak ada perbandingan yang lebih tepat untuk orang kaya yang kikir daripada seekor paus; hilir mudik kian kemari, memancing ikan-ikan kecil yang malang ke depannya, lalu akhirnya melahap mereka semua dalam sekali telan. Paus-paus semacam itu kerap kudengar di darat, yang tak pernah berhenti menganga sampai mereka sudah menelan seluruh paroki, gereja, menara, lonceng-lonceng, dan semuanya. —Shakespeare, Pericles Sungguh pengalaman aneh, menjadi sosok anonim yang berdiri di tengah hujan salju, dan menjadi pusat perhatian publik. —Saul Bellow, Humboldt’s Gift Tiga bulan sebelum dia meninggal, aku mulai mencuri barang-barang dari rumah ayahku. Aku berkeliaran tanpa alas kaki dan menyelipkan benda-benda ke dalam sakuku. Aku mengambil perona pipi, pasta gigi, dua mangkuk warna biru tosca yang gompel, sebotol cat kuku, sepasang sandal balet usang, dan empat sarung bantal putih kusam. Setelah mencuri setiap benda, aku merasa puas. Aku berjanji pada diri sendiri bahwa ini akan menjadi yang terakhir. Namun, tak lama kemudian dorongan untuk mengambil benda lainnya kembali datang seperti dahaga. Aku berjingkat-jingkat memasuki kamar ayahku, berhati-hati agar tidak menginjak papan lantai yang berderit di ambang pintu. Kamar ini dulu ruang kerjanya, waktu dia masih kuat naik tangga, tapi dia tidur di sini sekarang. Kamar itu berantakan disesaki buku-buku, surat, dan botol-botol obat; apel-apel kaca, apel-apel kayu; berbagai penghargaan, majalah-majalah, dan bertumpuk-tumpuk kertas. Ada lukisan-lukisan berbingkai karya Hasui yang menggambarkan senja dan matahari terbenam di kuil-kuil. Sepetak cahaya merah muda terpentang di dinding di sampingnya. Dia berbaring bertopangkan bantal-bantal di tempat tidur, mengenakan celana pendek. Tungkainya telanjang dan sekurus lengan, menekuk seperti tungkai belalang. “Hai, Lis,” panggilnya. Segyu Rinpoche berdiri di sebelahnya. Akhir-akhir ini lelaki itu selalu ada saat aku datang berkunjung. Lelaki Brasil bertubuh pendek dengan mata cokelat berbinar, sang Rinpoche adalah biksu Buddha bersuara parau yang mengenakan jubah cokelat menutupi perut bulatnya. Kami memanggil lelaki itu dengan gelarnya. Zaman sekarang, orang-orang suci dari Tibet terkadang lahir di barat, di tempat-tempat seperti Brasil. Bagiku dia tidak “terlihat” suci—dia tidak tampak berjarak atau gaib. Di dekat kami, sebuah kantong kanvas hitam berisi zat gizi berdengung oleh mesin dan pompa, selangnya menghilang di suatu tempat di bawah seprai ayahku. “Menyentuh kakinya itu ide yang bagus,” Rinpoche berkata, meletakkan tangannya melingkari kaki ayahku di tempat tidur. “Seperti ini.” Aku tidak tahu apakah sentuhan kaki itu ide bagus untuk ayahku, atau untukku, atau untuk kami berdua. Oke,” kataku, lalu meraih satu kaki yang dibalut kaus kaki tebal, walaupun rasanya aneh ketika mengawasi wajah ayahku, karena saat dia mengernyit kesakitan atau marah kelihatannya sama seperti saat dia hendak tersenyum. “Rasanya enak,” kata ayahku sambil memejamkan mata. Aku melirik lemari laci di sampingnya dan rak-rak di sisi lain kamar itu, mencari benda-benda yang kuinginkan, walaupun aku tahu aku takkan berani mencuri di depan matanya. Selagi dia tidur, aku berkeliaran di sekeliling rumah, mencari-cari entah apa. Seorang perawat duduk di sofa di ruang tamu, kedua tangan di pangkuan, bersiaga mendengarkan panggilan dari ayahku. Rumah itu sepi, suara-suara teredam, dinding batu bata bercat putih berlekuk-lekuk seperti bantal. Lantai terakota terasa sejuk di kakiku kecuali di bagian-bagian tempat matahari telah menghangatkannya menyamai suhu kulit. Dalam lemari di kamar mandi kecil dekat dapur, tempat dulunya ada satu edisi Bhagavad Gita yang sudah koyak-koyak, aku menemukan sebotol penyegar wajah mawar yang mahal. Dengan pintu tertutup, lampu dimatikan, duduk di penutup toilet, aku menyemprotkannya ke udara dan memejamkan mata. Percikannya jatuh di sekelilingku, sejuk dan suci, bagaikan di dalam hutan atau gereja batu tua. Selain itu, ada tabung perak lip gloss dengan sikat di salah satu ujungnya dan mekanisme pemutar di ujung satunya yang mengalirkan cairan ke tengah-tengah sikat. Aku harus memilikinya. Aku menjejalkan lip gloss itu ke dalam saku untuk kubawa pulang ke apartemen satu kamar di Greenwich Village yang kutempati bersama pacarku. Aku tahu pasti bahwa tabung lip gloss ini akan melengkapi hidupku. Di antara menghindari pembantu rumah tangga, adik-adikku, dan ibu tiriku di sepenjuru rumah supaya tidak ketahuan mencuri barang-barang, atau terluka saat mereka tidak memedulikanku atau membalas sapaanku, dan menyemprot diri sendiri dalam kamar mandi gelap agar aku tidak merasa terlalu menghilang—sebab di tengah tetes-tetes air yang berjatuhan aku merasa seakan-akan kembali mewujud. Berupaya menemui ayahku yang sakit di kamarnya mulai terasa seperti beban bagiku. Sepanjang tahun lalu aku berkunjung pada akhir pekan kurang lebih setiap dua bulan sekali. Aku sudah menyerah mengharapkan rekonsiliasi agung, seperti di film-film, tapi aku tetap saja datang. Di antara waktu kunjungan, aku melihat ayahku di mana-mana di New York. Aku melihatnya duduk dalam bioskop, lekuk leher yang sama persis sampai ke rahang dan tulang pipi. Aku melihatnya saat aku berlari menyusuri Sungai Hudson pada musim dingin, duduk di bangku menatap kapal-kapal di galangan; dan dalam perjalananku menaiki subway ke tempat kerja, melangkah pergi di peron menembus kerumunan. Para lelaki-lelaki kurus dengan kulit sewarna zaitun, jemari lentik, pergelangan tangan ramping, wajah berhias pangkal janggut yang kutemui di jalan, dari sudut-sudut tertentu, terlihat mirip dengannya. Setiap kali aku harus mendekat untuk mengecek, dengan jantung berdebar, walaupun aku tahu itu tidak mungkin dia karena dia sedang terbaring sakit di California. Sebelum ini, selama tahun-tahun yang kami lalui nyaris tanpa bicara, aku melihat fotonya di mana-mana. Melihat foto-foto itu memberiku perasaan ganjil. Rasanya sama seperti menangkap kilasan diriku dalam cermin di seberang ruangan dan mengira itu orang lain, lalu menyadari itu wajahku sendiri: Dia ada di sana, menatapku dari majalah-majalah, koran-koran, dan layar-layar di kota mana pun aku berada. Itu ayahku dan tidak ada yang tahu, tapi itulah kenyataannya. Sebelum berpamitan, aku pergi ke kamar mandi untuk menyemprotkan penyegar sekali lagi. Semprotan itu alami, yang artinya setelah beberapa menit berlalu aromanya tidak lagi tajam seperti mawar, tapi berbau busuk dan lembap seperti rawa, walaupun saat itu aku tidak menyadarinya. Sewaktu aku masuk ke kamarnya, Ayah tengah bersiap untuk berdiri. Aku mengamatinya menyatukan kedua tungkai dalam satu lengan, memutar tubuhnya sembilan puluh derajat dengan menekan kepala tempat tidur menggunakan lengan satunya, kemudian mengerahkan kedua lengan untuk mengangkat tungkainya melewati pinggiran tempat tidur dan memijak lantai. Ketika kami berpelukan, aku bisa merasakan tulang belakangnya, tulang rusuknya. Dia berbau apak, seperti keringat obat. “Nanti aku kembali lagi,” kataku. Kami melepaskan pelukan, dan aku mulai berjalan pergi. “Lis?” “Ya?” “Baumu seperti toilet.” [Mizan, Mizan Publishing, Qanita, Fiksi, Kisah, Keluarga, Dewasa, Indonesia] |

In March 2020, Broadway star and Tony Award nominee Nick Cordero was hospitalized for what he and his wife, Amanda Kloots, believed to be a severe case of pneumonia. Entering the hospital, they had every reason to believe that Nick—a young father and otherwise healthy man—would return home. After an eventual diagnosis of COVID-19 that led to Nick’s being placed on a ventilator, Amanda took to documenting their journey on social media, showing the dangers COVID-19 posed to everyone, regardless of age. Her updates quickly captivated millions, inspiring people around the globe to dance each day to Nick’s song “Live Your Life” and offer positive thoughts and prayer. When he passed away after ninety-five grueling days in the ICU, the world grieved for Amanda, her infant son, Elvis, and the future COVID-19 had snatched away from them. Live Your Life is the story of Nick and Amanda’s life together—of their beautiful relationship, of Nick’s dramatic fight for survival, of those sudden tragic months that permanently changed her world and ours—and of their interrupted future as a family. From the confusing early days of his illness to searching for signs of hope in every update from the doctors to the healing sound of Elvis’s laughter, Amanda details how she approached even the most devastating moments with the personal optimism and faith that have shaped her life. Written with her sister Anna Kloots, who was with her every step of this journey, Live Your Life explores how Amanda’s willingness to accept help from an entire community of people—friends, family, and even total strangers—played a vital role in enduring this hardship. In the process, she offers a touching meditation on how even the worst times have silver linings that deepen our connections to the world around us and to the people who matter most. What emerges is an inspiring and unexpectedly uplifting message for life in the time of COVID, a vision of courage for anyone coping with overwhelming loss or the collective trauma of what the pandemic has taken from us. A poignant reflection on love, hope, motherhood, and the transformational power of music, Live Your Life is a love letter to Nick and a reminder that, sometimes, celebrating life today is the only path through tomorrow’s darkness. Live Your Life includes 16 pages of color photos exclusive to the book. |

| did valerie bertinelli's husband cheat on her: The Meaning of Mariah Carey Mariah Carey, 2020-09-29 The global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller and artist finally tells the unfiltered story of her life in The Meaning of Mariah Carey. It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments – the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams – that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a ten-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side. Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit. Love, Mariah |

Across six decades, Sir Tom Jones has maintained a vital career in a risky, unstable business notorious for the short lives of its artists. With a drive that comes from nothing but the love for what he does, he breaks through and then wrestles with the vagaries of the music industry, the nature of success and its inevitable consequences. Having recorded an expansive body of work and performed with fellow artists from across the spectrum and across every popular music genre, from rock, pop and dance to country, blues and soul, the one constant throughout has been his unique musical gifts and unmistakable voice. But how did a boy from a Welsh coal-mining family attain success across the globe? And how has he survived the twists and turns of fame and fortune to not only stay exciting, but actually become more credible and interesting with age? In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom revisits his past and tells the tale of his journey from wartime Pontypridd to LA and beyond. He reveals the stories behind the ups and downs of his fascinating and remarkable life, from the early heydays to the subsequent fallow years to his later period of artistic renaissance. It's the story nobody else knows or understands, told by the man who lived it, and written the only way he knows how: simply and from the heart. Raw, honest, funny and powerful, this is a memoir like no other from one of the world's greatest ever singing talents. This is Tom Jones and Over the Top and Back is his story. |

| did valerie bertinelli's husband cheat on her: Both/And Huma Abedin, 2021-11-02 In this beautifully written and propulsive memoir, Huma Abedin—Hillary Clinton’s famously private top aide and longtime adviser—emerges from the wings of American political history to take command of her own story. The daughter of Indian and Pakistani intellectuals and advocates who split their time between Saudi Arabia, the UK, and the United States, Abedin grew up in many worlds. Both/And grapples with family, legacy, identity, faith, marriage, and motherhood with wisdom and sophistication. Abedin launched full steam into a college internship in the office of the first lady in 1996, never imagining that her work at the White House would blossom into a career in public service, nor that the career would become an all-consuming way of life. Still in her twenties and thirties, she thrived in rooms with diplomats and sovereigns, entrepreneurs and artists, philanthropists and activists, and witnessed many crucial moments in 21st-century American history—Camp David for urgent efforts at Middle East peace in the waning months of the Clinton administration, Ground Zero in the days after the 9/11 attacks, the inauguration of the first African American president of the United States, the convention floor when America nominated its first female presidential candidate. Abedin’s relationship with Clinton has seen both women through extraordinary personal and professional highs, as well as unimaginable lows. Here, for the first time, is a deeply personal account of Hillary Clinton as mentor, confidante, and role model. Abedin cuts through caricature, rumor, and misinformation to reveal a crystal-clear portrait of Clinton as a brilliant and caring leader a steadfast friend, generous, funny, hardworking, and dedicated. Both/And is a candid and heartbreaking chronicle of Abedin’s marriage to Anthony Weiner, what drew her to him, how much she wanted to believe in him, the devastation wrought by his betrayals—and their shared love for their son. It is also a timeless story of a young woman with aspirations and ideals coming into her own in high-pressure jobs, and a testament to the potential for women in leadership to blaze a path forward while supporting those who follow in their footsteps. Both/And describes Abedin’s journey through the opportunities and obstacles, the trials and triumphs, of a full and complex life. Abedin’s compassion and courage, her resilience and grace, her work ethic and mission are an inspiration to people of all ages. “This journey has led me through exhilarating milestones and devastating setbacks,” said Abedin. “I have walked both with great pride and in overwhelming shame. It is a life I am—more than anything—enormously grateful for and a story I look forward to sharing.” |

Jennifer Ashton, M.D., has witnessed firsthand the impact of a loved one’s suicide. When her ex-husband killed himself soon after their divorce, her world—and that of her children—was shattered. Though she held a very public position with one of the world’s largest media companies, she was hesitant to speak about the personal trauma that she and her family experienced following his death. A woman who addresses the public regularly on intimate health topics, she was uncertain of revealing her devastating loss—the most painful thing she’d ever experienced. But with the high-profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, Dr. Ashton recognized the importance of talking about her experience and the power of giving voice to her grief. She shared her story with her Good Morning America family on air—an honest, heartbreaking revelation that provided comfort and solace to others, like her and her family, who have been left behind. In Life After Suicide, she opens up completely for the first time, hoping that her experience and words can inspire those faced with the unthinkable to persevere. Part memoir and part comforting guide that incorporates the latest insights from researchers and health professionals, Life After Suicide is both a call to arms against this dangerous, devastating epidemic, and an affecting story of personal grief and loss. In addition, Dr. Ashton includes stories from others who have survived the death of a loved one by their own hand, showing how they survived the unthinkable and demonstrating the vital roles that conversation and community play in recovering from the suicide of a loved one. The end result is a raw and revealing exploration of a subject that’s been taboo for far too long, providing support, information, and comfort for those attempting to make sense of their loss and find a way to heal. |

There may be more challenges, but still, everyone has challenges. “God doesn’t make mistakes.” For Amy Roloff, star of TLC’s hit reality show Little People, BIG World, her father’s words would repeatedly serve as an anchor, reminding her of her inherent worth and purpose, whenever feelings of insecurity and inadequacy surfaced and threatened to overwhelm her. In A Little Me, Amy shares what it was like growing up with achondroplasia dwarfism, how she struggled to overcome obstacles both physical and emotional—navigating the average-size world as a little person, dealing with a serious illness as a young girl, bullying, and issues of body image and unachievable beauty ideals—while learning, as we all must, to accept herself for who she is. Finally allowing herself to be vulnerable enough to open up to others, she learned that it’s worth risking possible rejection for a chance at genuine relationships. Amy’s memoir is an inspiring and at times heart-wrenching account of resilience and the strength of the human spirit to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. |

Once upon a time, I lost my marbles and married a sexy, Wrangler-wearing cowboy named Ladd. That single decision would wind up setting the stage for years of rural adventures (and misadventures), and while I can't imagine my life being any different, raising a family in the “idyllic” countryside has not been without a few bumps in the road. (Or were those cow patties? It's hard to tell the difference sometimes.) I'm excited to share this crazy collection of true stories from my full-of-energy, hard-to-tame, wonderfully wild (and very weird) frontier family. From the unique challenges of being married to a rancher to the blood, sweat, mud, and tears of raising country kids, I'll pull back the curtain and let you in on some of the sh*t and shenanigans that have really gone on here on Drummond Ranch over the past two-plus decades. You'll learn about marital spats, run-ins with wildlife, ER visits, my parenting neuroses, triumphs, tribulations, love, loss . . . and how manure has somehow managed to weave its way through all of it. To keep things up to the minute, you'll also hear about more recent family developments that have tested my sanity and pushed me to the brink. (And pleasantly surprised me, too.) This book is both a love letter and a laugh letter, and I hope you get a big kick out of it all: the good, the bad, and the dirty. Mostly, I hope it demonstrates how much I adore this family of mine . . . even if I sometimes have to use rubber snakes to show it. |
