Sometimes, a book doesn’t just tell you a story—it demands that you feel it. RARE by Rebecca Hilday is exactly that kind of book. Raw, unfiltered, and fiercely honest, this debut memoir grabs hold of your attention and doesn’t let go.
Told in the author’s own words, RARE is the unapologetic testimony of a woman who’s lived through hell, stood at the edge, and chose to fight. From childhood scars to the trenches of mental illness and addiction, Rebecca doesn’t hold back. She lays her life out on the page with vulnerability and fire—often in the same breath.
This isn’t your typical inspirational story. It’s not polished with clichés or sugar-coated for comfort. RARE is jagged, sharp, and utterly unforgettable. It reads like a long night of conversation with a friend who finally says everything out loud that no one ever dared to say.
It’s about the kind of pain that breaks you. The kind of love that saves you. The kind of honesty that scares people. It’s about surviving when you weren’t supposed to. About living when you didn’t think you could.
Why It Matters
We live in a time when filtered perfection dominates our screens. But RARE pushes back against all of that. It’s a memoir that makes room for imperfection, truth, and messy humanity. It invites readers to see their own reflection not in someone who’s made it to the top—but in someone who’s still climbing, still bleeding, still real.
Whether you’ve faced addiction, trauma, heartbreak, or just the weight of your own silence, there’s something in these pages that speaks to you. And if you haven’t? Then RARE is your chance to understand someone who has.
About the Author: Rebecca Hilday
Rebecca Hilday is not just an author—she’s a force of nature. Born into chaos and raised in a world that often refused to understand her, Rebecca didn’t grow up with silver linings or storybook endings. Instead, she had grit. She had questions. She had survival.
She writes like someone who’s had to find her voice the hard way—by being silenced first. Through years of battling mental illness, enduring family betrayals, and navigating the long road of recovery, Rebecca turned her scars into sentences. Her words are a lifeline, not just for herself, but for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong in this world.
A proud mother and a relentless truth-teller, Rebecca’s strength doesn’t come from pretending to be perfect. It comes from being brutally honest. In a culture obsessed with appearances, she offers something different: transparency.
She didn’t write RARE to be famous. She wrote it to be free. And in doing so, she’s created something that might just free others, too.
One-of-a-Kind Doesn’t Even Cover It
There’s a reason it’s called RARE. This book isn’t just different—it’s essential. It peels away the layers we hide behind and asks the kind of questions that linger in your chest long after the last page.
It’s a memoir for the outsiders, the survivors, the people trying to make sense of the past without letting it define the future. It’s for the loud ones, the quiet ones, and the ones who don’t even know what they are yet.
Above all, RARE is a reminder that being broken isn’t the end of the story. Sometimes, it’s where the real one begins.
