Little Miss Merit Badge: A Memoir
 
Dr. Ronda Beaman

ISBN: 978-1-936214-47-1
252 Pages, 5.5 x 8.5
$16.00 Paperback
Pub Date: Feb. 2012

“I was hooked by the age of 6.”

So begins the memoir of a girl whose 17-year-old parents dropped ice cubes down her diapers to make her dance, whose bare-chested grandmother gave her singing lessons, whose brother tried to get rid of her with a strategically dropped boulder, and who moved so many times she barely got desk assignments at school, let alone had time to make any friends. The on-going, outrageous dysfunction, and denial in her life was enough to turn anyone into an addict.

Nationally recognized university professor and internationally renowned speaker Ronda Beaman confesses her drug of choice was earning Girl Scout badges. Lots of them. And she never quite kicked the habit.

Award-winning editor Tara L. Masih put out a call for Intercultural Essays dealing with the subjects of  “culture, race, and a sense of place” in 2007. The prizewinners are gathered for the first time in this ground-breaking anthology that explores many facets of culture not previously found under one cover. The powerful, honest, thoughtful voices—Native American, African American, Asian, European, White—speak daringly on topics not often discussed in the open, on subjects such as racism, war, self-identity, gender, societal expectations. Their words will entertain, illuminate, take you to distant lands, and spark important discussions about our humanity, our culture, and our place within society and the natural world.
