Overview
ONE OF PUBLISHERS WEEKLY'S TEN MOST ANTICIPATED MEMOIRS OF THE SEASON AND A REFINERY29 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
IF YOU THINK IT SUCKS TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS WHEN YOUāRE THIRTY-SIX AND NINE MONTHS PREGNANT, JUST WAIT TILL THE DEA COMES KNOCKING (WITH THE IRS IN TOW): WELCOME TO VICTORIA FEDDENāS LIFE.
When a squad of federal agents burst through her parentsā front door, Victoria Fedden felt ill-prepared to meet them: She was weeks away from her due date and her T-shirt wasnāt long enough to hide her maternity undies. As for the question of how to raise a child when youāve just discovered that your mother and stepfather have allegedly masterminded a pump-and-dump scheme? She was pretty sure that wasnāt covered in What to Expect When Youāre Expectingāand she really hoped that Bradford Cohen, the noted criminal defense attorney who famously waived his exemption on The Apprentice, would prove them innocent.
This Is Not My Beautiful Life is the story of how Victoria lost her parents to prison and nearly lost her mind. No one ever said motherhood would be easy, but as she struggles to change diapers, install car seats, and find the right drop-off line at pre-schoolāno easy task, when each one is named for a stage in the lifecycle of a f*cking butterflyāsheās also forced to ask herself whether a jump-suit might actually complement her momās platinum-blonde extensions and fend off the cast of shady, stranger-than-fiction characters (like the recovering addict who scored a reality show when he started an escort service for women) who populated her parentsā world.
A real-life Arrested Development that could only unfold in southern Florida, This Is Not My Beautiful Life is a hilariously funny and unexpectedly moving memoir of a just-functional family youāll never forget.
