Description

Leah was first thrust under the reality television microscope when her teen pregnancy was documented on MTV’s groundbreaking series, 16 and Pregnant. Since then, fans of Teen Mom 2 have watched her life play out on the small screen—from her struggle to rise to the challenges of motherhood, through her harrowing journey to find a diagnosis for one of her twin girls with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, and the collapse of two marriages. She has learned to live under the harsh glare of media scrutiny, yet there is a truth behind the reality that the cameras have never revealed.

In her unflinching and honest memoir, Leah takes readers behind the scenes and shares an intimate, often heartbreaking, portrait of her turbulent childhood in rural West Virginia, the rock bottom that forced her to reevaluate her life, and her triumphant break from toxic relationships and self-destructive cycles to live her life with hope, grace, and faith.

    Leah is an inspiration. I had no idea about all the struggles she had growing up. Looking at her now on the show I would have never assumed that she went through all of this. She’s a great mom to her girls and the girls are so well behaved and mannered. I can’t say enough good about the book and Leah!

    After watching Teen Mom 2 I was not going to read this book as I thought I knew what MTV driven story it would tell. I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Leah puts it out there with no concerns as to what anyone will think. More than anything this book shows she has matured and sets the story MTV wove straight. I respect her for putting her story out there without trying to place blame or cover her faults. She did not owe us this information but shared it anyway in a mature, well thought out memoir. This book is written in a true, millennial fashion. The wording can seem a bit Facebook-post but for the crowd watching Teen Mom 2 (me included) it hits home. Good read. I wish it was longer and look forward to the possibility of more books from Leah.
