As Black From White
"As Black from White is the gut wrenching life journey of Sally Graham. From the secluded upbringing of a single child to the misty fog of late teens without any purpose; like a ship without a mooring, Sally's life drifted into a deep sea of alcohol and drug abuse. Caught in the middle of a controlling marriage, three children and further drug abuse Sally prayed a desperate prayer: 'God if you're real, you'd better do something otherwise tomorrow he gets it!' The following day she embarked on a plan of murderous intent! As Black from White is filled with laughter and tears. It is an encouragement to hope when all hope is gone. Sally's life reminds us that God does not have a too hard basket." -- Provided by publisher.

Three reviews from our CALEB reviewers:
Sally Graham was born into a nurturing family where she enjoyed all the privileges of an only child. Her happy life goes into a rapid decline in her mid-teens when she stepped onto a slippery downhill slide into the sleazy world of sex, alcohol, drugs and finally prison. Her world in the 1980s was anything but pretty.
God meets her at her place of greatest need and Sally begins the slow and painful journey back to a place of security and love.
Sally tells her own story in As Black from White. It's an easy read. Sally Graham is a miracle of God’s grace and an inspiration and role model to all who want to break from the drug, alcohol and sex scene. DS

This story is well told, and never lags. This horrific, true story details her slide from an early age into a world of drugs and abuse, and how she then finds a world of love and dignity. As a mother I felt close to tears. This is a tribute to the redeeming power of Christ.

I like the honesty about the way her life was going around in circles. She made some bad choices until she became a Christian. As she started to listen to God, her faith became stronger, and this helped her to make different choices.

Sally Graham’s story is one that we read thanking God that she has moved forward and isn’t still living a heart shattering life.
As a teenager, she entered into a lifestyle of destruction which went from bad to worse, landing her in jail. After 16 months in jail, Sally wanted to come out and stay clean, but she was released only to ‘score’ that very day and head straight back to her previous lifestyle.
Ready to end her own husband’s life, she made one final cry out to God, asking God if He was real.
As you read ‘As Black from White’, the slight insight Sally gives us into alcoholism and dealing drugs, will encourage you to pray constantly for any loved ones you know who are living a dark lifestyle. She has shown me how God can turn a life around completely and in Sally’s case as far as black from white. God never gives up on His children, showing us that we should never give up hope.
This is a book that will have you laughing and crying as Sally spills her very personal, very real journey onto the pages of ‘As black from white’.
