Some people live the charmed life from the day they were born. For Jeani Brent, that was not even close to the case. Having been a disappointment from the word go for being born a girl instead of a boy, Jeani spent her childhood and adolescence being bullied and badgered, first by her own family, and then by the kids and teachers at school. It did not take long for the fragile, brow-beaten little girl to accept the glaring fact that she was not good enough, and that self-doubt followed her and kept her quiet for most of her life. This heartbreaking memoir follows an insecure, knock-kneed little girl as she struggles to overcome the traumas her tiny California town doled out. From verbal abuse to rape, Jeani falls victim to bullying in all its most terrible forms. When Jeani finally escapes the small town that had labeled her an outcast for so long, she slowly begins to see that it wasn't her all those years that was the problem; it was the hateful, small-minded people that surrounded her. This bold memoir takes readers through Jeani's hell, and exposes the detrimental lifelong consequences that unchecked bullying can have.
