I'm Glad My Mom Died

Beskrivelse

A #1 New York Times bestseller with over 3.5 million copies sold, this memoir by Jennette McCurdy reveals her difficult journey from child star to reclaiming her life. It’s a powerful blend of heartbreak and humor.

Jennette McCurdy’s candid memoir about fame, family struggles, and finding herself after a complicated childhood in the spotlight.

Jennette McCurdy’s acting career began at just six years old, driven by her mother’s dream of stardom. To please her mother, Jennette endured extreme “calorie restriction,” weighing herself multiple times a day until she dropped to 89 pounds. Her mother controlled every detail, from at-home beauty treatments with cheap whitening strips and eyelash tint to sharing diaries, email accounts, and even Jennette’s earnings. When Jennette landed a role on Nickelodeon’s hit show iCarly, fame came fast-her image plastered on billboards nationwide. But behind the scenes, Jennette battled anxiety, shame, and self-hatred, which spiraled into eating disorders, addiction, and toxic relationships.

Her struggles deepened after her mother’s death from cancer. Through therapy and a brutally honest look at her past, Jennette began to heal and finally made choices for herself. I’m Glad My Mom Died is a raw, gripping, and often funny memoir about resilience, survival, and the courage to reclaim your life.
