Summary

A raw, courageous account of a young woman determined to turn her turmoil into triumph.

Small-town-girl-turned-reality-TV-star Mackenzie McKee has grown up in front of the world as part of MTV's hit reality shows 16 & Pregnant, Teen Mom 3, and Teen Mom OG. Fans have experienced the ups and downs of motherhood and marriage right alongside Mackenzi - from difficult childbirths due to her type 1 diabetes diagnosis, to the untimely death of her beloved mother, Angie Douthit. But through it all, Mackenzie never falters in her deep love of family and God.

In her new memoir, Mackenzie proves there is more to her than what the glaring spotlight of fame has shown. She confronts a never-before-shared secret that upends her young life and explores her struggle to gain acceptance in a family where she felt she was the only one who was less than perfect. Follow along as Mackenzie learns to stand tall, conquer her mistakes and fears, and "straighten her crown" in an effort to help others straighten theirs.

McKenzie

Used to watch this show with her in it. Felt she was brutally honest about her life and choices she made. Wouldn’t have bought it but it was free so give it a listen. Good listen
