Ruthie opens up about her lifelong struggle with trichotillomania (hair-pulling compulsion), the toxic weight standards passed down through generations in her family, and her secret, five-year love story with Prince Edward. From surviving on cigarettes and coffee as a young dancer to performing I Dreamed a Dream in front of the Royal Family, Ruthie delivers a candid, refreshing look at what happens behind closed doors, her unapologetically simple beauty regime and how she finally found true confidence as a mother.
