Between You and Me is a compilation of poetry and essays once posted on Instagram by Ericka Clay. Ericka brings you bits of her heart as she meditates on “cultural Christianity,” raising an ADHD child, dealing with body dysmorphia, being a former atheist, and working through her roles as mother, wife, and writer all while seeking the goodness of God.
Ericka Clay is a traditionally published novelist and poet formerly represented by Robyn Russell.
She graduated from the University of Arkansas Creative Writing department and is the author of several books including her latest novel, A Bird Alone.
Ericka has been awarded several times by Writers Digest for various short fiction pieces. She has written four novels (one of which placed as a quarter-finalist in the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest) and has had her work featured in literary journals like Ruminate and Rock and Sling.
Ericka lives in Northwest Arkansas with her husband, daughter, two rats (yes, you read that correctly) and an insatiable need to push buttons, both figuratively and literally.
Between You and Me is a unique Christian Living book, as it presents the Christian Faith not through preaching, but through authenticity. The author, Ericka Clay, reflects on matters of the Faith and shares her struggles and breakthroughs in her walk with God. Ericka combines simplicity and vulnerability with depth and beauty in her writing. This book touched my life in so many ways, as it both challenged me and encouraged me. I recommend Between You and Me to other Christian women who want to grow in their Faith.
