Little Miss Merit Badge: A Memoir,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
I was hooked by the age of 6.' So begins the memoir of a girl whose 17yearold parents dropped ice cubes down her diapers to make her dance, whose barechested grandmother gave her singing lessons, whose brother tried to get rid of her with a strategically dropped boulder, and who moved so many times she barely got desk assignments at school, let alone had time to make any friends. The ongoing, outrageous dysfunction, and denial in her life was enough to turn anyone into an addict. Nationally recognized university professor and internationally renowned speaker Ronda Beaman confesses her drug of choice was earning Girl Scout badges. Lots of them. And she never quite kicked the habit. LITTLE MISS MERIT BADGE takes readers through oddball adventures Beaman had earning her many badges as she explores the nature of resilience and the accomplishment addiction many young girls develop to compensate for growing up in a challenging environment.
