As a rare lawmaker who speaks candidly from raw personal experience, in Cinder Girl: Growing Up on America's Fringe, Rehder rises above standard political prose to provide an unvarnished look inside the worst of American poverty from the perspective of those living in the margins. Rehder challenges us to recall the plight of those far less fortunate, who struggle without the opportunities most of us take for granted. --James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review

Author Information

State Senator Holly Thompson Rehder is a known voice in the fight against opioid addiction and the stigma of mental illness. Growing up on welfare, quitting school at fifteen, becoming a mother at sixteen, and ultimately, deciding to do things differently, Holly brings a unique perspective to the poverty cycle in America. A conservative who speaks candidly from personal experience as someone who lived it as a child, got out as a teen, only to see her daughter caught in it, is a bit of an anomaly.
