About this ebook
Through candid and thought-provoking storytelling, this coming-of-age memoir explores a tumultuous childhood and the ongoing journey toward self-acceptance and healing.
“Beautifully written and honestly told. I loved it.”—Ally Condie, international bestselling author of the Matched series
“A searing, beautiful, heartbreakingly honest memoir about beating the odds, staying true to oneself, and finding a way through this complicated life.”—Kristin Harmel, internationally bestselling author of The Sweetness of Forgetting
All her life, Emily has felt different than other kids.
Between therapist visits, sudden uncontrollable bursts of anger, and unexplained episodes of dizziness, things have never felt right. For years, her only escape was through the stories she’d craft. But it isn’t until a near-fatal accident when she’s twelve years old that Emily and her family discover the truth: a grapefruit-size brain tumor at the base of her skull.
In turns candid, angry, and beautiful, Emily Wing Smith’s captivating memoir chronicles her struggles with both mental and physical disabilities, the devastating accident that may have saved her life, and her way through it all: writing.
