Confessions of a Toe-Hanger

by Christie Harris

A novel which looks at self-confidence and the desire to fit in. Although Feeny can hang by her toes on the exercise bar, that seems like nothing compared to the accomplishments of her brothers and sister. It was only years later, as a mother herself, that she realized she could do what she wanted as long as she had the courage to try.

This was a book I checked out repeatedly from the public library when I was a girl. It's out of print, but I just found a copy online and ordered it. I can't wait to re-read it!
