I'm Glad My Mom Died is Jennette McCurdy’s memoir of growing up as a child actor in a dysfunctional family that included sexual abuse. While the author had family issues and, later, alcoholism and codependency, her main challenges were eating disorders--anorexia and bulimia. Jennette is best known for playing Samantha Puckett on Nickelodeon. This memoir ends before her issues are resolved. A memoir about dysfunctional families and eating disorders.
