Non-Fiction Biography
How Rude!Once Danny Tanner's bubbly daughter on America's
favorite family sitcom, Jodie Sweetin takes readers behind
the scenes of Full House and shares her terrifying -- and
uplifting -- real-life story of addiction and recovery.Jodie
Sweetin grew up in front of America, melting our hearts and
making us laugh for eight years as the cherub-faced middle
child on Full House. Her ups and downs seemed not so
different from our own, but more than a decade after the
popular television show ended, the star we knew as
goody-two-shoes Stephanie Tanner publicly revealed her
shocking recovery from methamphetamine addiction. Even then,
Jodie still kept a painful secret -- one that could not be
solved in thirty minutes with a hug, a stern talking-to, or
a bowl of ice cream around the family table. The harrowing
battle she swore she had won was really just beginning.In
her deeply personal, utterly raw, and ultimately inspiring
memoir, Jodie comes clean about the double life she led --
the crippling identity crisis that began at her birth, the
hidden anguish of juggling a regular childhood with her
Hollywood life, and the vicious cycle of abuse and recovery
that led to a relapse even as she wrote this book. Jodie
traveled the country speaking to college kids about her
triumph over substance abuse, yet she partied nightly,
spending tens of thousands of dollars on her habit. Her
addiction tore her family apart and alienated her from her
former Full House cast mates until becoming a mother gave
her the determination and the courage to get sober.Today,
Jodie's life is a work in progress. Resilient, charming, and
funny, she writes candidly about taking each day at a time.
Hers is not a story of success or defeat, but of facing your
demons, finding yourself, and telling the whole truth --
unSweetined.
