Non-Fiction Memoir
On the surface, Mia Tyler led a seemingly perfect life. She
was a world-renowned plus-size model and the daughter of
Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and seventies It girl Cyrinda Foxe.
But growing up under the shadow of celebrity wasn't as
glamorous as it's cracked up to be. From a poverty-stricken
childhood in New Hampshire to running with troubled rich
kids on Manhattan's Upper East Side, she has an incredible
story to tell. In Creating Myself, Mia shares
scintillating details about her rock-and-roll family, as
well as battling her own personal demons: dumping her
mother's cocaine vial down the toilet at just eight years
old, running around backstage at her father's concerts
(including the one where she first met her sister, Liv), and
attempting to distract herself from her pain through drug
addiction and self-mutilation. Yet this memoir is ultimately
a tale of redemption. Mia learns that in order to truly grow
up, she must forgive both herself and those who hurt her,
give up the quest for perfection, and acknowledge that she
is still a work in progress. Creating Myself is raw
and inspirational, the tale of a hell-and-back journey from
the depths of depression and addiction to triumphant
self-discovery.
