This is the raw, candid story of how she made her way in the world in spite of her mother's neglect, unreasonable expectations and constant criticism; in spite of being sexually abused, first at four years old and then at nine; and in spite of being raped at twelve.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eRaising Myself\u003c\/em\u003e takes readers on a remarkable journey, showing us how Engel, who was basically on her own from the age of four, learned how to cope with a neglectful, narcissistic mother while being surrounded by a cast of characters that included eccentrics and misfits, a religious fanatic, child molesters, rapists, and hoodlums. It is a soul-searching memoir about how she came dangerously close to the edge of becoming a child molester, a criminal, and a suicide, and how she battled her inner demons and struggled to keep her heart open and to \"reinvent\" herself so she could follow her dream of making something of herself. Powerfully inspiring and unflinchingly honest, \u003cem\u003eRaising Myself\u003c\/em\u003e is a story of remarkable resilience and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49201361485976,"sku":"9781631523670","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/dFBIOFdKS2dreGRtdHkwZHppVDk1Zz09.webp?v=1780807614","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/raising-myself-a-memoir-of-neglect-shame-and-growing-up-too-soon-paperback","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
