Pride Over Pity

By: Kailyn Lowry

Narrated by: Renee Chambliss

Fans of MTV's Teen Mom have watched Kailyn Lowry grow from a vulnerable, pregnant teen into a fiercely independent young mother. Through it all Kailyn has faced challenges with her head held high and her spirit intact. In a moving effort to finally put the past behind her, Kailyn shares her troubled, often painful story and reveals the dark secrets she has so closely guarded. Guided by the single principle of helping other young girls like her, she takes the listener behind the scenes, writing candidly about her struggle to 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.

Great book

Kail did a fantastic job of telling her life! It opened my eyes to how her life truly was. Abandoned.

Not bad

I liked the first half the best - it felt more transparent and gave some stories about her life we did not see on tv. I felt the second half was a lot I already knew. She’s one strong person.

Good explanation

Like many other teen moms, there is a big gap of information missing. Not everyone believes, unfailingly, that what is put on tv is the 100% truth. Not that anyone has to explain their existence but scenes with Kailyn begged the question "why is she so angry." Perhaps that's just me that can also relate to the home life with an alcoholic mother and absent father. Wish Kailyn would have read the book herself but I respect her work.

I love Kail!

I have watched Teen Mom 2 since it came on. I already felt like I knew the cast but this book really makes me feel like I know Kail. She's an amazing and beautiful person.

Great book!

I listened to this in my car when I would be driving to work / home from work / ect. Kailyn did a wonderful job putting her life story into a book. I enjoyed it and learned some things I didn't know from only watching 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom 2.
