This memoir shares poignant moments in the life of a girl born into an Evangelical Christian home where indoctrination ruled every part of her existence. It provides a view into the rise of Christian nationalism and Gen X while highlighting the necessity of sexual and emotional competence. Her brutally honest accounts pull you into her world of chaos on her pride-filled, painful journey of self-discovery
At fourteen, her recognition of biblical inconsistencies prompted her to seek a life she knew nothing about. After enduring several traumatic events before and after leaving her faith, she escaped into an unknown world. Like many others who were bound to such a life during the 80s and 90s, she took a walk on the wild side. However, this is not the story of a prodigal child who followed a destructive path just to realize she belonged back in her indoctrinated state. It is the gut-wrenching truth bomb of experiences that led her to find her own path based on her humanity, not on the delusion of a deity. She didn't want to tell her story with singularity by defining herself as the victim or hero. She shows the spectrum of who she is by revealing the victim, villain, damaged, healing, and strong-willed person she actually was. The truth is often misrepresented to fulfill the desire to be seen as blameless. She hopes that by the end of this book, you will recognize that she understands her value is in being human, not in being perfect.
