In this frank, unflinching, hilarious andat timesheartbreaking memoir, Terra Jol, beloved star of reality televisions Little Women: LA and Terras Little Family, shares her never-before-told story of what it takes to overcome small-mindedness and make it as a little person in Hollywood.

With little more than a dream in her heart, the passion in her soul, and two hundred dollars in her pocket, TerraJol burst onto the Hollywood scene with a fierce determination to make her mark on the entertainment industry. But she quickly learned that whileshemay have been ready for Hollywood, Hollywood wasn't necessarily ready forher.At four foot two, Terra was born withachondroplasia,a form of short-limbed dwarfism, and because of her diminutive stature she often faced unimaginable prejudice and bigotry.

After spending time in the trenches, as an evil elf on Ozzie Osbourne's Merry Mayhem Tour and later as a dancer on Miley Cyrus's Bangerz Tour, Terra struck out on her own and carved out a career for herself as a mini-Britney and mini-Gaga impersonator. But with her larger than life optimism and absolute belief in herself, Terra was determined not to be a "mini-anything" for long and she ultimately captured the hearts of reality TV fans around the world as the star and executive producer of the groundbreaking A+E Network's Lifetime television showLittle Women: LA.
