Book Description

 

Young readers will find wisdom from Peter’s ability to live confidently with a facial difference, overcome peer pressure, and courageously face adversity.  Adults will draw inspiration from Peter’s fortitude, commitment to being a force for good, and relentless pursuit of his passion. 

 

You will battle with Peter through his thirty-six surgeries, laugh with him as he searches for an ear store, and share in his excitement when he takes the stage with Buckcherry, Jared James Nichols, and others.

 

More than 800k social media followers have found inspiration from Pete's Diary. This book is both Peter's story and the journey of how Pete's Diary evolved from his birth in 2000 to his career as a guitar player.
