Your Own Kind of Girl
Clare Bowditch has always been a natural storyteller. Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by this renowned Australian artist's songs and performances. What about the stories she used to make up for herself? That 'real life' begins only when you're skinny or attractive, and that nice things only happen to other people.
Your Own Kind of Girl relates the story of Clare's upbringing, which was marked by loss, anxiety, and compulsion, and how these forces influenced her life for the better and for the worse. This is a moving, insightful, and at times amusing memoir. Clare's own narrative, recounted in its entirety and in real time. A reminder that triumph is closer than it appears, even on the darkest of nights.
Clare lays bare her reality with shocking candor in the hopes of inspiring anybody who has ever battled their inner critic. This is the work of a lady who has discovered and wishes to pass on her genuine power. We learn that happiness comes only when we take control of the tales we tell ourselves.
