Written like a child.

A long drawn-out Tale of most of the things you already knew about Dog the Bounty Hunter. When's the rehashes knees and gives her inside his to I and how it affected her and her life. As we all know no one's life is perfect. Yes. She had it rough. IDK this book just seems like it was written by a little kid. I never finished it. It was just too much of the same old same old.

An inspiration to all

I can’t say enough good things about Lyssa Chapman. What an inspiring woman with such an inspiring story. The book itself is as raw as a story can be, and she doesn’t hold back an inch on the good and bad things that have been done to her and that she herself has done. I myself have lived a very blessed and sheltered life, and her story just emphasized that and made me that much more grateful for the life I was born into. Additionally, I found myself incredibly inspired to know that someone who has been through far worse than I can grow and overcome the obstacles God dealt her, giving me hope that I too can overcome whatever God throws in my path. Beautiful, amazing woman.
