Not Afraid Of Life - Description from the publisher:

"The oldest daughter of Sarah Palin and single mother goes beyond the headlines, offering readers an inside look at her life, her world, and the things that matter most, including her family and the faith that keeps her centered. When her mother became the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate in 2008, Bristol Palin was instantly propelled into the national spotlight, becoming the focus of intense public and national media scrutiny at the age of seventeen. In Not Afraid of Life, Bristol gives readers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at her life for the first time, from growing up in Alaska to coming of age amid the media and political frenzy surrounding her mother's political rise; from becoming a single mother while still a teenager to coping as her relationship with her baby's father crumbled publicly - not once, but twice. Bristol talks about the highs and lows of her appearance on ABC-TV's Dancing with the Stars, including the aching hours of practice, the biting criticisms, and the thrill of getting to the show's finals. She speaks candidly of her aspirations for the future and the deep religious faith that gives her strength and inspiration. Plainspoken and disarmingly down to earth, Bristol offers new insight and understanding of who she is and what she values most."

Not Afraid Of Life - Intro from Chapter 1:

"I lied to my mother.

We're going to go stay the night at Ema's house," I nonchalantly said as my friend and I headed toward the front door. Mom was busy paying bills and didn't really look up from her work. There was only one week left of school and the weather was warming up in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.

"Okay," she responded, not suspecting a thing. "Do you need me to drop you off?"

"No," I said. "Her mom's in a hurry, but she's going to pick us up at the end of the driveway."

"Have fun," she said casually and waved good-bye.

That deception would affect my life in ways a teenager could not comprehend. It changed my relationship with my parents, my boyfriend and even God. It would eventually cause me public embarrassment on an international scale and cause many sleepless nights.

But I didn't know that at the time..."
