Riassunto

From the star of TLC's hit reality show Little People BIG World comes a revelatory memoir that will inspire those who have long followed the Roloff's and newcomers alike.

"A Little Me by Amy Roloff is a feel-good, inspirational memoir about a remarkable woman who addresses challenges head-on with a positive outlook and deep faith." - New York Journal of Books

Whatever package you come in, life isn't easier or harder than another's because you are different physically. There may be more challenges, but still, everyone has challenges.

"God doesn't make mistakes." For Amy Roloff, star of TLC's hit reality show Little People, BIG World, her father's words would repeatedly serve as an anchor, reminding her of her inherent worth and purpose, whenever feelings of insecurity and inadequacy surfaced and threatened to overwhelm her.

In A Little Me, Amy shares what it was like growing up with achondroplasia dwarfism, how she struggled to overcome obstacles both physical and emotional-navigating the average-size world as a little person, dealing with a serious illness as a young girl, bullying, and issues of body image and unachievable beauty ideals-while learning, as we all must, to accept herself for who she is. Finally allowing herself to be vulnerable enough to open up to others, she learned that it's worth risking possible rejection for a chance at genuine relationships.

Amy's memoir is an inspiring and at times heart-wrenching account of resilience and the strength of the human spirit to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Dalla quarta di copertina

With my family and my faith—believing in myself that I matter, have value and a purpose—I could face the world as different and become my own hero.Life is going to throw curveballs at all of us—that’s just part of being human. But when the adversities of normal, everyday life are magnified by something as consequential as having a form of dwarfism, how do you learn to ignore the negative opinions of other people, and sometimes your own, and find a way to accept yourself? How do you replace destructive self-doubt with a belief in your inherent value as a person? When the dreams you have for your future—though no loftier than anyone else’s—seem unattainable, how do you confront the obstacles in your path and rise to the occasion to realize those dreams? In sharing her journey thus far, Amy Roloff, a woman who has climbed mountains both figurative and literal, proves that being a little person does not define her. In fact, in terms of character—compassion, resilience, and wisdom—she’s bigger than most.Filled with the same warmth and sensitivity Amy’s fans already cherish, A Little Me is more than just an honest and deeply moving memoir. It’s an inspiring how-to guide for overcoming personal challenges and living life to the fullest—a reminder of what’s truly important.
