I Have the Right To. ADHD & Me. All That Is Bitter and Sweet. Highly Recommend!
I was immediately drawn to buy Ashley's book when it first became available. Growing up listening to The Judd's music, and seeing Naomi and Wynona on talk shows lately (sans Ashley) to promote their new OWN show, I was intrigued to read Ashley's story. Ashley begins her journey reflecting on her own childhood issues of abandonment, rejection, depression, isolation, loss of family connection, and sexual abuse. While she talks about these issues very openly, Ashley is not screaming "I am a victim" or "Naomi is a horrible mother". Rather, she reveals very openly how those issues affected her and what she did to move past it. Ashley's book cannot be read without wanting to do something and help others. Amen, Amen, Amen. As Nature Made Him. Autobiography of a Face. A Must Read (though maybe not for a cancer patient) This book is moving, dramatic, beautifully written, and truly a must read.

What good are fathers if not for these things? —Thomas Lynch, "The Way We Are" Being Jazz. “Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest champions of transgender equality.”
—O, The Oprah Magazine “A role model for teens everywhere.” —Seventeen.com on Jazz Jennings Teen activist and trailblazer Jazz Jennings—named one of “The 25 Most Influential Teens” of the year by Time—shares her very public transgender journey, as she inspires people to accept the differences in others while they embrace their own truths. Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest and most prominent voices in the national discussion about gender identity. At the age of five, Jazz transitioned to life as a girl, with the support of her parents.
A year later, her parents allowed her to share her incredible journey in her first Barbara Walters interview, aired at a time when the public was much less knowledgeable or accepting of the transgender community. Believe: The Victorious Story of Eric LeGrand. Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back. Josh Hamilton is one of my all time favorite athletes, so decided to read his inspiring biography, "Beyond Belief" by himself with Tim Keown.
This amazing book has showed me the deepest depths of extreme drug addictions and how Josh Hamilton dealt with his life threatening flaw. It is hard to believe that anybody associated with drugs could have ever been drafted straight out of high school as the first overall pick for the MLB. Josh Hamilton grew up in North Carolina, and began playing baseball at a young age. By age 13, Josh was already being peered by scouts from the MLB and colleges all around the country. Breaking Night: My Journey from Homeless to Harvard. Inspiring and Empowering!

But Now I See: My Journey from Blindness to Olympic Gold. The book that Steven has written here is not the fluff pieces th The book that Steven has written here is not the fluff pieces that you see from some athletes that are just looking to throw something out there after they reach their ultimate goal of winning.
It looks like this has been done with a lot of care and the writer Steve Eubanks has penned books for Lou Holtz, Jeff Gordon and Arnold Palmer. He must have really liked Holcomb to include him in a great group like that. Certainly, the book took me a few days to read, but it was worth the $15 bucks. Was this review helpful? A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive.

His family strips him of his very existence, while treating him like he is lower than a slave, until his heart turns cold and hates everything in sight. However, Dave looks up to his father, who he considers his "hero," only to find that superman doesn't exist. At school, he fears telling the truth, terrified that he will never be free.
