When her mother, Sarah Palin, became the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate in 2008, Bristol Palin was instantly propelled into the national spotlight, becoming the focus of intense public and national media scrutiny at the age of seventeen. In Not Afraid of Life, she shares with readers for the first time ever personal moments from her life--from her Alaskan roots to her pregnancy and single motherhood to her star turn on TV's enormously popular Dancing with the Stars. This candid memoir is a heartfelt true story of a woman who is centered by her strong Christian faith and is Not Afraid of Life.
Inside this unflinching coming-of-age story, Bristol shares:
- A Political Whirlwind: Go behind the scenes of the 2008 presidential campaign and see what life was really like inside the Palin family as her mother became a household name.
- Single Teen Motherhood: The honest story of her relationship with Levi Johnston, the challenges of becoming a mother at seventeen, and the public scrutiny that followed.
- Dancing in the Spotlight: Her surprising journey on TV's hit show Dancing with the Stars, from grueling rehearsals to the unexpected controversies and the fan support that propelled her to the finals.
- Finding Faith and Family: How her Alaskan roots and deep Christian faith grounded her through public mistakes, media attacks, and the pressures of growing up in the public eye.
