Summary

If you think it sucks to live with your parents when youâ re thirty-six and nine months pregnant, just wait till the DEA comes knocking (with the IRS in tow). Welcome to Victoria Feddenâ s life. When a squad of federal agents burst through her parentsâ front door, Victoria Fedden felt ill-prepared to meet them: She was weeks away from her due date and her T-shirt wasnâ t long enough to hide her maternity undies. As for the question of how to raise a child when youâ ve just discovered that your mother and stepfather have allegedly masterminded a pump-and-dump scheme? She was pretty sure that wasnâ t covered in What to Expect When Youâ re Expectingâ and she really hoped that Bradford Cohen, the noted criminal defense attorney who famously waived his exemption on The Apprentice, would prove them innocent. This Is Not My Beautiful Life is the story of how Victoria lost her parents to prison and nearly lost her mind. No one ever said motherhood would be easy, but as she struggles to change diapers, install car seats, and find the right drop-off line at pre-schoolâ no easy task, when each one is named for a stage in the lifecycle of a f*cking butterflyâ sheâ s also forced to ask herself whether a jump-suit might actually complement her momâ s platinum-blonde extensions and fend off the cast of shady, stranger-than-fiction characters (like the recovering addict who scored a reality show when he started an escort service for women) who populated her parentsâ world
