From hitchhiking to the pool at 5 years old to growing up in a house with 5 siblings and young parents, Jackie shares stories that are as unbelievable as they are real. We get into her parents meeting at 15 & 17, her father leaving the family, and the lasting impact of losing her mother at just 8 years old. Jackie also opens up about wetting the bed late into childhood, a principal offering to adopt her brother (and not the rest of the kids), and how her stepmother Nancy helped stabilize everything.
