Imperfect 10 Penned by Woman Born with Rare Birth Disorder

Las Vegas, NV February 1, 2018:  Maxine Haber is proud to release her debut work under the Clarity Cove Publishing imprint, Imperfect 10, available through Amazon on February 16. Imperfect 10 is an informative how-to guide, focused on giving the reader the tools to transform troubles into triumphs, using real-life experiences and letting the reader apply lessons from the book to their own lives.

Born with a birth disorder called Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS), Maxine lives without the ring and middle fingers on her left hand, missing two toes and a very visible 360-degree scar around her right ankle. She has transformed herself from a shy, bullied child with physical differences into a successful happy woman. “It’s my goal with Imperfect 10 to share my story and give readers the specific actions they can take to overcome similar obstacles and begin living the life of their dreams”, says Haber.

In her review of Imperfect 10, Krystian Leonard, Founder of Shining S.C.A.R.S. and author of Shining Scars, shares the following, “Maxine shares the true meaning of self-acceptance from a personal and very real place. If you have ever struggled to accept your flaws, grab this book and place some inspiration and courage in your heart.” Molly Stapelman, the founder of the Lucky Fin Project, an organization dedicated to spreading awareness about Amniotic Band Syndrome, raves about Imperfect 10, “Our biggest stumbling blocks can be our own preconceptions. So often we are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and live perfectly, we would not struggle with feelings inadequacy. Through personal accounts and shared stories, Maxine Haber encourages the reader to embrace one’s imperfections and cultivate the superpower of self- acceptance in order to push yourself past your obstacles and achieve your dreams.
