Ugly Duckling: a memoir - 9838

In this raw and honest memoir, Rachel Weddle shares her journey to healing and wholeness from a disadvantaged and dysfunctional childhood in the Midwest. Despite growing up in a world of scarcity with the ugliness of domestic violence and substance abuse, little Rachel refused to give up hope for a better life- a life of stability, real love, and peace. Against all odds, and with adorable pluck and tear-jerking courage, little Rachel persisted in pursuit of her dreams - and made those dreams come true. Armed with only her indomitable spirit, Rachel overcame her early struggles to become the person her younger self always needed - not just for herself, but for others who need her now, too. An engrossing, wrenching, yet ultimately triumphant story of a vulnerable girl's journey into adulthood, Rachel's story is a testament to the most basic of human needs: acceptance, love and understanding. With a powerfully authentic voice that speaks of the harsh realities of growing up female in an impoverished family and difficult social circumstances, Ugly Duckling is a work of heartfelt intimacy and an authentic portrait of poor Midwest life at the turn of the twenty-first century.
