Publisher Description
An empowering memoir that can inspire others to break the cycle of abuse and forge happiness out of extreme adversity.
The ninth child of bounty hunter Duane Chapman, made famous on the A&E show Dog the Bounty Hunter, Lyssa Chapman has overcome an upbringing that can only be called tragic. In her piercing memoir, she shares the details of her harrowing childhood and her journey to faith, and offers compassionate guidance, advice, and hope to those who might feel overwhelmed in their own circumstances.
As a child, Baby Lyssa’s parents divorced and left her neglected. Things only got worse from there. Walking on Eggshells reveals Lyssa’s nightmare passage from mental and physical abuse to removal from school and confinement at home, flight from protective services, and teen pregnancy. Despite it all, and against incredible odds, Lyssa found her faith. She also found her way out of the spiral of bad decisions to build a healthy relationship with her parents and forge a rewarding, positive life with God.
An astonishing true story of one young woman’s trek from poverty and abuse to fulfillment and stardom, Walking on Eggshells is heartrending, powerful, and inspiring.
Customer Reviews
No child should have to go through this
To the author credit I had no idea how much pain and call mom the author was and had been going through. I have to say I am feel a little traumatized after reading this book. But In someways I was sheltered growing up. I couldn’t imagine having to live her childhood. Plus I am extremely empathetic something I am quite proud of. Definitely worth reading.
Walking on Eggshells
Found Lyssa's story not to be very inspirational in dealing with her personal struggles with substance abuse. Needs more years of sobriety and living clean before she should have wrote her story.
