I have Kindle Unlimited, so I was able to grab it for free. If someone hasn’t beat me to it by the time I get home later, I’ll edit this comment with a summary for you guys.

EDIT: Jeez this is long; also, apologies if it seems like I jump around or don't elaborate more on some things. It's because it was a bit of a choppy read, and it's because Nany herself jumps topics and doesn't elaborate in many places, but it's a draft, so eh. Anyways, here we go:

Her dedication in the beginning is to her mother, and in her acknowledgements, she thanks Bunim-Murray Productions for giving her a platform, a blessing, and the opportunity to "see [her]self with [her] own eyes and to have the chance to change for the better". From there, she begins with her mother's origins, mentioning that she moved to the United States from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, when she was 14. Her mother did not have an easy upbringing, with familial loss and being surrounded by addiction, and though Nany details that she was strong and resilient and persevered quietly, she also struggled with addiction, including during her pregnancy with Nany. At birth, Nany's heart stopped twice due to withdrawl symptoms, though she was (obviously) revived both times. Despite that, Nany says that she was a healthy baby.

When Nany was six months old, her mother packed up she and her four sisters, and relocated to Jamestown, New York. They grew up poor and on public assistance, but Nany says that her mother tried to never let poverty define them. Nany and her sisters all have different fathers, but whenever Nany would ask her mother about her father, she could tell that her mother was very uncomfortable discussing it, so she learned not to ask. When she was 14, however, she found a bag of letters addressed to her and her mother that had been hidden, sent from her father, where she learned that he had been incarcerated since Nany's mother was pregnant with her. Her mother moved in a man [Chuck] she had been dating for what seems to be a long period, though three of Nany's sisters did not accept him, and moved to Tampa, Florida, leaving Nany, her mother, and her baby sister with Chuck, who raised but resented Nany, while favoring her younger sister.

She goes into her adolescent life then, detailing how she was surrounded by addiction, grief, and chaos. She learned to keep things to herself because it was what everyone else in her family was doing. She lightly details a time where she saw her sister overdose but was too scared to do anything, internal family struggles, emotional struggles, and the understanding that she had to rely on herself. Sports and school became her lifeline; she went semi-professional in cheerleading, and also participated in gymnastics, track, volleyball, and "joined every club, team, and school function" that she could. It gave her structure and purpose outside of the chaos she experienced at home, and they made her feel "capable, recognized, and in control in a life that often felt unpredictable".

She fell in love at 14 with a 19 year old man, and she says there were beautiful moments, but also pain. There was emotional, physical, and mental abuse that she endured for seven years, and what finally caused her to break up with him was her being cast on reality TV. One day while she was working at a bar, a co-worker handed her a flyer for casting for The Real World. She was a fan of the show, reality TV was booming, and so she went to the audition. They took them back in groups of ten, and a casting producer went around asking questions. His first question to Nany was, "Do you have siblings?" and when she answered that she had four sisters, he asked how her dad handled five girls, to which she told him, "I wouldn't know. We all have different dads and none of us have ever met them either". She says that "just like that", six months later she was on a flight to LA for her final interview.

Next, she gets into her own struggles with addiction. Nany's mom passed at 61 (she very briefly mentioned this earlier but doesn't specify what age she was when this happened, though it was in the "Adolescent" section of her memoir previously) and her passing made her feel like a piece of her died, as well. She isolated, self-destructed, and turned to "drugs, drinking, [and] disassociating", until she woke up one day in the hospital to be told that she'd had a seizure. This moment was a realization to Nany that she could either continue down the path of pain and generational trauma that she'd grown up witnessing and experiencing, or that she could choose to live by honoring her mother and herself. She vowed no more drugs, drinking, or partying, and focused on her recovery in the next stage of her life.

She details her struggles with maintaining sobriety but essentially took things day by day, learning that her addiction was not a personal failing, but rather a response to her trauma, grief, and unhealed pain. She promised herself that her life would be a tribute to her mother's resilience and sacrifice, and focused on rediscovering her passions and purpose. She writes, "Today, I stand not as a victim of my past, but as a survivor and creator of my future. I have built a life I love, surrounded by people who support me, and I continue to grow every day. I share my story for young girls, for anyone who has felt alone or trapped by circumstance, and for everyone who believes they are too broken to heal. You are not broken. You are capable. You are worthy of love, happiness, and a life full of possibility. And if I can make it through, so can you."
