ON DIETING: Swearing off lasagna to lose weight? You might fit into smaller jeans. But you’re still the same person— except hungrier and bitchier.

From uncomfortable topics like sex, drinking, and relationships, Grace Chang Piggue speaks to you straight-up as if you are one of her own daughters and brings up real-life trials she faced such as living as an immigrant to high school heartbreaks. Born in Toronto, Canada, yet raised in the City of Angels, she bluntly talks about her childhood to her high school graduation at Bellflower High School and how her core foundation kept her anchored in God.
