Saving My Ten

Saving My Ten

Saving My Ten is a powerful and heart-wrenching memoir that documents the author's journey of overcoming a life-changing experience. It's a book that tells the story of resilience and strength that emerges from becoming pregnant at seventeen. Hill shares with her readers the challenges she faced after experiencing a life-altering event that left her feeling alone, scared, and lost. She doesn't try to hide the impact of the traumatic experience on her life. Instead, she presents it honestly, which makes the story all the more touching. While this book addresses difficult and emotionally draining topics, Hill offers hope and a roadmap to healing for others who may be struggling. Her willingness to share her journey serves as an invitation to others to take charge of their lives and to fight for the happiness they deserve.

I went home and had a hot shower. Not in the hopes of easing my contracting body but for superficial reasons. I twitched and lurched as I struggled to blow-dry and style my hair between the waves of pain. I shuddered as I applied my foundation and too much mascara as the waves kept growing and growing, crashing down on my cervix until I could no longer fight the hurricane developing inside of me. I retreated to my bed in hopes of shelter and comfort, but you can't run away from a storm that's inside you.

Ugh, Mom!

Ugh, Mom!

"Ugh, Mom!" follows a creative little girl named Jade (or Jadey Girl Gummy) who spends her days slaying dragons in her room, finding lost treasure during bath time, and royal mushrooms in the backyard. But she has a hard time doing that when Mom takes her sword and uses it to unclog the toilet! Ugh, Mom! When Jade hears her mom say her famous words, "Ugh!" she decides to investigate and learns something crazy... Moms are busy, too!! Who knew?

 

​

A story about frustration, compassion, and kindness: "Ugh, Mom!" is the type of book that should be on every child's shelf. This story shows children the kindness of lending a helping hand. Featuring a cast of an adventure-loving little girl with an imagination that could change the world and a tattooed mama who does all but dance on the moon, this book is a charming way to appreciate all that moms do!

Ugh, Mom!
Ugh, Mom!
Ugh, Mom!
Ugh, Mom!

I'm Jade, but you can call me Jadey Girl Gummy. Sometimes my mom drives me crazy! She just doesn't get how busy I am. Like just the other day, I was slaying dragons, saving the house from being burnt to a crisp, like a good kid would, and my mom used my sword to unclog the toilet. Ew! Does she know what goes in that thing? Ugh, Mom!
