Gypsy Rose Blanchard Reflects on Abuse, Prison, and Rebuilding Her Life in New Memoir

The memoir reveals new details about her traumatic childhood, struggles with addiction, and rekindled relationship with fiancé Ken Urker.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's memoir, 'My Time to Stand,' recounts her experiences with abuse, her role in her mother's murder, and her years in prison.
Blanchard details the severe abuse she endured from her mother, including unnecessary medical procedures and physical punishments, which led to her eventual involvement in her mother’s killing.
She opens up about her struggles with addiction in prison and her decision to quit drugs after hitting rock bottom and regaining her stepmother’s trust.
The memoir explores her past relationships, including her broken engagement to Ken Urker and her brief marriage to Ryan Anderson, which ended in divorce earlier this year.
Blanchard and Urker have since rekindled their relationship and are expecting their first child together, a daughter, in 2024.
