Klappentext

"A captivating story of hope and redemption."--Margaret Feinberg, author of Fight Back With Joy

Candice Curry didn't have a normal childhood. Normal is hard to come by when you are awakened in the night by your father--who is high on drugs--for a wild ride down the highway. Or when your father has a habit of "borrowing" things and never returning them. Or when imposing strangers show up at the door trying to track him down.

While her father found himself on the wrong side of the law, her mother put herself through nursing school and kept food on the table by working around the clock, which left Candice in the hands of a father who needed babysitting himself.

Through her struggles and brokenness, Candice finds freedom in forgiveness and love in the midst of tragedy. Join her on the winding road to discover the truth that God doesn't love us because we're perfect--but because he is.

"I had no intention to sit down and read this book cover to cover in one sitting, but Candice drew me into her story from the opening chapter."--Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author of Nobody's Cuter Than You

"This is a must-read! I couldn't put it down! Hope, help, and healing are in these pages."--Ken Freeman, author, evangelist, and motivational speaker
