""Allison Landa's book is a how-to guide on how to survive and thrive no matter what hand life deals you. Brimming with humor and wisdom, this captivating memoir had me cheering for her every step of the way."" --Julia Scheeres, New York Times bestselling author of A Thousand Lives, Jesus Land, and Listen World! ""Allison Landa is among the best writers of our time. She is able to evoke compassion without pity...Bearded Lady is the next Eat, Pray, Love."" --Andrea Askowitz, author of My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy and host of Writing Class Radio podcast ""I've followed Allison Landa's work for a decade now, with admiration for the courage, fierce honesty and humor of her utterly distinctive voice. Now comes the story I've been waiting for. This is a book for every woman who ever looked in the mirror and felt unattractive, any woman whose mother ever told her she needed to lose weight, any woman who ever allowed herself to believe that because of how she looked, nobody would ever love her. Most of all, it's a book about triumphing over those experiences. Allison Landa's book is about self-acceptance and triumph. In the end, this is a story of a woman who creates her own beauty."" --Joyce Maynard, author of Count the Ways and At Home in the World (in addition to many others)
