This memoir is the true, no holds barred story of my incredibly blessed, ridiculously messy life. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing beach read, this isn’t it. This is more of a roller-coaster, “Good grief, what next?” kind of read. But I hope you’ll give it a chance because it’s definitely not boring, occasionally funny, and does have a wonderful, happy ending…eventually. Within the pages of this book you’ll find: Good Guys, Bad Guys, and Just Plain Monsters - Abandonments by Disturbingly Imperfect Parents, and Adoptions by Nearly Perfect Parents - Drug Addicts, Alcoholics, Felons and Other Abysmally Bad Personal Choices - Betrayals With Love Lost, and Miracles With Love Found - Race Horses, Go-Go Dancing, Boarding Schools, An Escape From a Mental Hospital - And Finally, Forgiveness, Love, and a New Beginning Ultimately this is a book about grace and redemption. As you read my story you will see that despite every terrible thing that happened to me as a child and every bad decision I made through the years, God invariably saved and delivered me. I pray this memoir will be an encouragement and inspiration to you.
