Hey, Fatso!: A Memoir

"My parents’ nickname for me was 'DeDe.' I never tried again to tell them that everyone else’s nickname for me was 'Fatso.' I was on my own. For the next twenty years, along with being called 'Fatso,' 'Hey, Fatso!' was yelled at me daily by strangers who must have felt it their duty to tell me the 'truth' about myself." Deedra’s memoir is astonishing in the eloquence with which it captures the heart of a young girl who finds herself in a body that, through no fault of her own, is an object of derision by her parents, teachers, classmates, and even her doctors. She goes into her experiences with exceptional detail that evokes the sights, sounds, and smells of the era, some of which occurred seventy years ago. These are memories that were frozen in time, and also transcend the little girl herself and speak to wounded parts in all of us. -- Christopher Germer, Ph.D. deedraboyer.com
