Deeply tragic and also at times funny, Jennette McCurdy reflects on her time as a child actor and the abuse she suffered both from the Hollywood system and her own mother and her recovery. Detailing stories of abuse, struggling with eating disorders, and a career she felt forced into, Jenette explores her own feelings during her life and the long and winding path to her recovery.
