Overview

"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."
