The heart breaking story of Justin Bieber’s Mom “Pattie Mallette” hit the New York Times bestseller list. In the book, the still-youthful mom “Pattie Mallette” recounts her tough early years of growing up in Ontario, Canada. Those years included experiencing sexual abuse as a child and teen experimentation with alcohol and drugs, particularly marijuana and LSD. She also got involved with petty theft, vandalism and drug dealing. It all contributed to feelings of depression that led to a suicide attempt. It was during her stint in a psychiatric ward that she embraced Christianity.
