About this ebook
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.

A wow coming from this beautiful young lady. Her family is definitely to blame. Not many people can recognize their problems or seek God and Baby Lyssa did. I pray for her future.

I really enjoyed this book. This was a very inspiring story. I recommend this book to anyone who has had a rough childhood or a past involving addiction. There is hope for us!

I can relate to many things this young woman has gone thru, but not to the extreme as she has. Some of her story was as I thought was the case. But her story perhaps will help someone else
