Think God has given up on you? Not a chance!
Follow the author on a whirlwind trip through broken innocence to redemption, wandering in the wilderness to 'coming to herself' and returing to her Father! Through it all, you will see the hand of God taking care of one of his beloved children, with definite emphasis on the Gospel.
This book will leave you feeling like you just sat down and had a long conversation with the author. But more than that, you will realize that there is hope, and with God on your side you CAN make it through the most difficult trials!

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading Nancy's story. I have known her since high school days and have followed some of her journey along the way. This book has been a tremendous help already to another person that has struggled with these same issues! There is HOPE! Read it!

Fred did a lot of work for me, and even though I paid him cash for his material costs, and traded labor by making things for him, I always felt like I owed him more. I was used to paying debts with sex. It took me years to realize that sex and gratitude are not love.

There was a long straight-stretch lined with huge oak trees on a road I traveled frequently. I recall thinking if I hit one of those at 90 miles an hour it would make a mess of the sports car and me along with it, but it would pretty much guarantee an immediate release of the pain and I'd be in heaven.
On at least one occasion, I purposely watched the speedometer climb steadily to that magic number, hands gripping the wheel, heart beating rapidly, and I almost, almost jerked the steering wheel. No room for correction at that speed. It would have been all over. Unless God intervened, which I was hoping he wouldn't.

gotta tell you about the cover photo. I took the picture just walking around the neighborhood because I love rock walls and old fences. Then it occured to me: Jesus is the Rock, my life is the rotten fence, and Jesus was still there holding me up all along, and was still there on the other side when I got off the fence! Perfect cover photo!

For all the Christians (or not) out there who have 'been in hell'. You are not alone. You are not the only one who has failed God so miserably. No matter what you've done, or where you've been, no matter how many of God's rules you've broken along the way, or are currently breaking, he thinks you're worth it, even if you don't! You take the first step to get out of the pig pen and he'll be there to help you take the next. And the next. And the next.
