Success: Tess Holliday has become internationally known as a size 22 supermodel who speaks out against 'beauty standards' but her family have told of her extraordinary journey from a Mississippi trailer

Happy child: Holliday, 29, was born Ryann Hoven. Her mother Beth, now 50, worked for JC Penney while her father, Doug Hoven, 49, worked for Auto Zone. A year after Ryann's birth her brother Doug 'Tad' Hoven was born

Parents: Beth and Doug Hoven in 1987 when they were still married. Beth' mother Carolynn Tadlock told Daily Mail Online:  'Her daddy moved around very often. Anytime he could move he would move. Doug ran around and all that'

Beloved: Carolyn and Hulon 'Frank' Tadlock, Tess Holliday's grandmother and grandfather - or mawmaw and pawpaw - who told Daily Mail Online how she had survived a tough childhood and been determined to become a model

Survivor: Her mother Beth had only recently come through being shot in the head and left for death by a boyfriend in the wake of splitting from her first husband, Tess's father Doug. She and her brother Tad (right) did not witness the shooting, but her grandparents say it was a traumatic time for all the family

Tess and Tad were born only a year apart Close: The brother and sister were a tight unit

Smiling though pain: Home life was unsettled in every sense. Ryann has recalled moving at a moment's notice – sometimes in the middle of the night. She estimates that the family moved around 60 times

Special day: Tess Holliday - or as she was then, Ryann Hoven - celebrating her eight birthday. Her parents had divorced after an itinerant marriage. A year later, her mother's boyfriend tried to kill her mother, shooting her in the head

Come through: Ted Hoven and Ryann, now Tess Holliday, pictured at Christmas with their mother. She had survived being shot but was severely effected and was in a wheelchair after the attempted murder 

Facade: Joseph 'Joey' Wilson married her mother Beth but the marriage ended in divorce when Tess was 14
