It took her fifty years of hiccups and social tragedy to finally find a way to accept herself. The author is really hoping to reach those who are striving to embrace the life they have left, and deal with some things that may still be trying to hold them back. Along the way you will find yourself reevaluating your life experiences, laughing, crying, and being grateful it's someone else that owns these embarrassing moments.
