Ugly: My Memoir
Robert Hoge

The unique and inspiring story of a boy born with the odds against him and the family whose love and support helped him overcome incredible hardships.
Robert Hoge was born with a giant tumour on his forehead, severely distorted facial features and legs that were twisted and useless. His mother refused to look at her son, let alone bring him home. But home he went, to a life that, against the odds, was filled with joy, optimism and boyhood naughtiness.
Home for the Hoges was a bayside suburb of Brisbane. Robert’s parents, Mary and Vince, knew that his life would be difficult, but they were determined to give him a typical Australian childhood. So along with the regular, gruelling and often dangerous operations that made medical history and gradually improved Robert’s life, there were bad haircuts, visits to the local pool, school camps and dreams of summer sports.
Uglyis Robert’s account of that life, from the time of his birth to the arrival of his own daughter. It is a story of how the love and support of his family helped him to overcome incredible hardships. It is also the story of an extraordinary person living an ordinary life, which is perhaps his greatest achievement of all.

Ugly: My Memoir
Robert Hoge

داستان منحصر به فرد و الهام بخش پسری که با مشکلاتی علیه او و خانواده ای متولد شد که عشق و حمایت او به او کمک کرد تا بر سختی های باورنکردنی غلبه کند. strong>
رابرت هوگ با یک تومور غول پیکر روی پیشانی خود به دنیا آمد، اجزای صورت و پاهایی که به شدت پیچ خورده و بی فایده بودند. مادرش حاضر نشد به پسرش نگاه کند چه برسد به اینکه او را به خانه بیاورد. اما او به خانه رفت، به زندگی ای که بر خلاف احتمالات، مملو از شادی، خوش بینی و شیطنت های دوران کودکی بود.
خانه هوگ ها حومه ای در کنار خلیج بریزبن بود. پدر و مادر رابرت، مری و وینس، می دانستند که زندگی او دشوار خواهد بود، اما آنها مصمم بودند که یک کودکی معمولی استرالیایی را برای او رقم بزنند. بنابراین در کنار عمل‌های منظم، طاقت‌فرسا و اغلب خطرناک که تاریخچه پزشکی را ثبت کرد و به تدریج زندگی رابرت را بهبود بخشید، کوتاهی موی بد، بازدید از استخر محلی، اردوهای مدرسه و رویاهای ورزش‌های تابستانی وجود داشت.
زشت روایت رابرت از آن زندگی است، از زمان تولد تا ورود دخترش. این داستان نشان می دهد که چگونه عشق و حمایت خانواده به او کمک کرد تا بر سختی های باورنکردنی غلبه کند. همچنین داستان یک فرد خارق‌العاده است که در یک زندگی معمولی زندگی می‌کند، که شاید بزرگترین دستاورد او در بین همه باشد.
