Kailyn Lowry is the feisty, unapologetic, tattooed beauty whose  determination to raise her son on her own terms has been documented on  MTV’s critically acclaimed, hit series Teen Mom 2. Across five seasons,  fans have watched her grow from a vulnerable, pregnant teen into a  fiercely independent young mother. Through the breakup with the father  of her child and the ensuing custody battles, her struggle to come to  terms with her troubled childhood, her diagnosis with bipolar disorder,  and relentless online bullying, Kailyn has faced it all with her head  held high and her spirit intact.
But there is more to her story  than what has been seen on television. In a moving effort to finally put  the past behind her, Kailyn shares her troubled, often painful story  and, for the first time, reveals the dark secrets she has so closely  guarded. Guided by the single principle of helping other young girls  like her, she takes the reader behind the scenes, writing candidly about  her desperate stay at a homeless shelter to qualify for a program that  would provide a safe home for her son, breaking her silence on the  question of her sexuality, and sharing the traumatic sexual experiences  that have left her deeply scarred.
Pride Over Pity is a raw,  brutally honest, and ultimately inspiring account of a young woman’s  resolve not only to survive but to succeed.
