about Michelle
Michelle MacLeod is an avid photographer, gardener, and potter-interests that blossomed organically from her deep-rooted desire to create, grow, and form something meaningful where once there had been nothing. She is a survivor of decades of physical, mental, and emotional abuse, and has spent most of her adulthood fighting to overcome seemingly insurmountable self-hate. Today, she has a renewed sense of purpose: to help others find the strength to battle their demons and the will to move forward toward a path of healing. A Girl Called Bitch is MacLeod’s first book. Her follow-up, A Woman Called Bitch, serves as a powerful call to action for anyone who struggles with self-acceptance. MacLeod is also a hopeless dog lover, has one, incredible adult son, and lives North of Seattle. To learn more about her future plans, visit www.michellemacleod.com.
books
A Girl Called Bitch is a raw, gripping account of stolen childhood and decades-long journey toward recovery and self-acceptance. From the tender age of three, author Michelle MacLeod was groomed to steal, everything from food and toys to porch packages and household goods. Like a broken compass with no true north, MacLeod’s family relocated more than twenty times before she reached adulthood. Everything from the roof over their heads to the food on the table hung by a thread always on the verge of unraveling. With no firm footing or foundation of support, MacLeod was a vapor—an essence—that drifted from place to place, keeping her secrets in the shadows and letting self-hate consume her. Adulthood brought little reprieve, and MacLeod sank to rock bottom. She had a decision to make: drown in the past or fight her way to the surface and define a new future.
