“The beauty queen with a big leg” Born with a leg mysteriously twice the normal size, dismissed by doctors, and shamed into hiding her body from the world, this memoir by Amy Rivera reveals her painful experiences and the journey of discovery and empowerment that led to the answers she sought. “Lymphedema” was a diagnosis that could have made the first 30 years of Amy’s life safer and more tolerable. Now she’s committed to raising awareness about this rare disease so others won’t have to suffer in silence the way she did. AMY RIVERA was born with an incurable disease called lymphedema that left her immensely disfigured. As she feverishly fought to better her own quality of life through medicine, nutrition, fitness, and faith, Amy was also blazing a trail of activism and community building and eventually left the corporate medical world to pursue her calling and live life through philanthropy.
