About this ebook
An empowering memoir that can inspire others to break the cycle of abuse and forge happiness out of extreme adversity.
The ninth child of bounty hunter Duane Chapman, made famous on the A&E show Dog the Bounty Hunter, Lyssa Chapman has overcome an upbringing that can only be called tragic. In her piercing memoir, she shares the details of her harrowing childhood and her journey to faith, and offers compassionate guidance, advice, and hope to those who might feel overwhelmed in their own circumstances.
As a child, Baby Lyssa’s parents divorced and left her neglected. Things only got worse from there. Walking on Eggshells reveals Lyssa’s nightmare passage from mental and physical abuse to removal from school and confinement at home, flight from protective services, and teen pregnancy. Despite it all, and against incredible odds, Lyssa found her faith. She also found her way out of the spiral of bad decisions to build a healthy relationship with her parents and forge a rewarding, positive life with God.
An astonishing true story of one young woman’s trek from poverty and abuse to fulfillment and stardom, Walking on Eggshells is heartrending, powerful, and inspiring.

All I can say is WOW! I didn't know she went though that much in her life. I give her credit for the things she has gone through and to over come it. It must of been hard to over come it but she did it! If u haven't read this book yet, it's a must read!

Lyssa is such a brave, courageous, heroic and beautiful young woman. Relating to her life I praise her for finding God and overcoming her tragedy as such a young woman. It took me a little longer. Being 11 years older I am still learning and still trying to break the chains that are holding me back. Thank you Baby Lyssa for the inspiration and additional advice as well as the extra faith in God I've been looking for. A wonderful book for learning of Baby Lyssa's life, advice for moving forward, and Faith.
