Description
Ellen Keane spent most of her teens uncomfortable with her limb difference. Hiding behind long-sleeved hoodies, she perfected poses in photographs and concealed her insecurities. How did she go from being a shy young girl to a strong, confident woman and gold-winning Paralympian?
The day Ellen embraced her difference was the day she found her superpower. She started to believe in her unique abilities and gradually find the success that she had never dreamed possible. Perfectly Imperfect is for anyone struggling to embrace who they are. With anecdotes from her own life, practical advice, monthly check-ins and good-natured humour, Ellen dares you to let go of waiting until everything is perfect and, instead, embrace your imperfect, messy self just as you are. It might just change your life.
