From its first blackly hilarious quote, Freak shoves you on a roller coaster ride and never lets up. This is the true story of Rebecca O’Donnell, an atypical hero who found hope in the darkest of circumstances. Unlike so many spunky survivors of a damaged past, Rebecca belongs to that far more common area of depression and insecurity, hidden behind the mask she showed the world.
So how does one crawl out a self-dug pit? With laughter, self-recognition and a drop of shaky courage, Rebecca shows us exactly how she did that, and how she helped others build their own ladders out of hell.
Freak is a must read for anyone who’s ever heard that voice of insecurity whispering that we can’t, we shouldn’t, we don’t deserve.

I am a Writer/Artist in New York. I've done work for the Alice Tully estate, illustrated a coloring book for Paul Newman's Double "H" Hole in the Woods ranch for kids with cancer, made displays for the Long Island Shakespeare Society, have work on permanent display at the Russian Tea Room in Manhattan, written a memoir (out for publication soon) where nine readers said it helped them to not commit suicide. I wrote and illustrated the children's book Hurt Magic to help kids deal with the wounds bullying and/or abuse cause. I used to teach art therapy at an abused children's home. I was good at it because I was one of them. So, you can do two things with a manure pile of memories: drown in the stink or turn it into compost and grow a garden. I used my past to help those kids, to help anyone I can. That's what my books are for. That's what I love to do. And I'm good at it.
