A Life Made From Scratch: Lessons from a Controversial Congresswoman, Mompreneur, and Unstoppable Political Activist - Hardback

A Life Made From Scratch is a brutally honest, frequently funny memoir about Marie Newman's rise to "controversial" congresswoman, mother of a transgender daughter, antibullying activist, and CEO. Marie shares the stories of her hard-fought business and political wins and losses, while managing her family's transitions and mental health struggles. At its heart, this is the story of a woman who has moved mountains and built movements. Her invaluable lessons illustrate how movements, life solutions, careers, and families are built from a person's motivation to solve a problem.

Completely unvarnished, she shares the inside story of congressional life, her unsuccessful bid for reelection, ever-present misogyny throughout her career, and the devastating sequence of events that would crush her political career and, paradoxically, be the fire that would finally free her.
