She begins with her birth and traces her childhood with an Irish, alcoholic mother who abandoned her emotionally. As a child, her existence was barely tolerated by her Old Mother; birthdays were not acknowledged or celebrated at all. As she recounts the ups and downs--mostly downs--of her growing up years, she comes to the realization that the best times were with her animals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShe learned to thrive because her animals taught her that she was lovable and gave her a different perspective on life. This in turn gave her that spark that set her on the path to developing a strong backbone and a moral core--strengths she would need later with her abusive husband, who treated her much the same as her mother had. As she began to grow into her own person--someone who could love and be loved--she took the steps with her analyst to overcome serious depression and a failure-to-thrive childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45155411099799,"sku":"9781475988840","price":692.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781475988840.webp?v=1767301009","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alpha-b-tch-a-cinderella-story-9781475988840","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
