Mum's Monday: Fierce at Four Foot two by Terra Jole

This book is an autobiography of the author Terra, from the reality TV program ‘Little Women LA’ and other film and TV.it is interesting to read that her ancestors lives were saved due to counterfeit tickets for the Titanic. Me being interested in the Titanic story also, this is something else/knowledge to add to the stories I have already seen and read about of it.

The information given in this book about dwarfism is very open and informative. I certainly have a better understanding of it now. To teach people the facts can only be a good thing to do.

It is awful to read about the school’s stance on terra performing a song from the film ‘Annie’ ‘Sandy’. I hope it wouldn’t happen today in 2019, or no school would get away with it. It is good to read she did eventually move schools. It is sad to read the end of chapter one.

The start of chapter two, I would say, starts off badly and it does but sadly, although bullying shouldn’t be tolerated at any level or at any time, sadly, it does happen to and can happen to anyone, Terra included. It is nice to read that Terra did get the jeans she liked in the end though.

To work hard and put all your effort into something is a good thing, but it is sad to read that Terra felt she ‘Had’ to prove herself beyond any normal range, ultimately it is nice to see it work out for her in the end.

It is good that Terra accepted that she had to start from the bottom and work her way up, yes it is like almost everyone else, in this case she certainly shows a strong level of determination.

We now learn that fellow cast mate of ‘Little Women LA’ Tonya doesn’t like snow; this is an amusing part to read although not for Tonya to experience. We also read that Terra has now met Joe, her now husband, it didn’t exactly go well for now.

It is good to see that at first what was a horrendous job turned out to be a good one on an unexpected shorter than was planned initially, tour.

The things Terra saw on another tour, it turns my stomach, just reading it. I am also glad she missed breakfast. I am now also glad that Terra has reconnected back with Joe.

It is sad how things turned out with ‘Mini Kiss’. It is however, good to see how much Terra learned from it and how it helped her career progress.

This book teaches the reader about what is offensive language and most importantly why, used towards ‘Little people’. If I hadn’t of read this book, I would never have known. It is good to know then I wouldn’t run the risk of offending anyone in the future. It is also good to see how Terra took control of working contracts, no one should put up with offensive language.

Now enter ‘Little Women LA’ and the rest is history, it is also good to see a spin off was made, teaching people can only be a good thing.

It was good to read of Terra’s time on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ she did extremely well despite only just having given birth for the second time.

This is not a woe is me story but it is a, here is me, I’m going to do it, story. From her start in life, her upbringing she has accomplished so much and has done so well for herself, good on her.

Long may it continue, I enjoyed reading this book. I found it very interesting.
