Learn from Sandy's example that through determination, you too can overcome most of life's obstacles. Throughout her childhood, Sandy was ridiculed for her looks and her size. But she learned to confront adversity and accept the "special position" she had been given on this earth. Sandy shares personal insights into her private life and openly talks about the problems she faced growing up.

Sandra Allen did not know their uncle Bob very well. As a child, Sandy had been told Bob was “crazy”, that he had spent time in mental hospitals while growing up in Berkeley in the '60s and '70s. But Bob had lived a hermetic life in a remote part of California for longer than Sandy had been alive, and what little Sandy knew of him came from rare family reunions or odd, infrequent phone calls. Then in 2009, Bob mailed Sandy his autobiography.
