Overview

The memoir of A. Leigh Corbett chronicles how she overcame profound adversity while struggling with mental illness. Corbett experienced more deaths during the first twenty-three years of life than most could ever encounter during an entire lifetime. But Corbett found ways to give death meaning, and to live more positively because of it. After starting her education with profound learning disabilities that were initially ignored due to their complexity, Corbett taught herself to read by age ten and against all odds. She continued to triumph by publishing her first book at eighteen and just months following her brother's untimely death. Now, at twenty-three years old and seven books deep into her writing career, she has finally written the true story of her struggles towards success. Told in the most honest disregard for societal taboos, Corbett discusses how she overcame losing her brother, Andrew, to a heroin overdose, as well as eleven other people in unrelated ways in the years following.
