Finally finished this book and must say it was a struggle for me as it was difficult to understand all the negative stories as it seemed like her mother and father were quite supportive, loving, and at times enablers to what I felt was a spoiled person. There were many sad moments and I had to put the book down to truly understand if one is a believer of the same God I serve why someone would wait so long to give God her concerns. There were some humorous moments as well Waiting to reach out to God after her cancer situation became such a crazy and bizarre burden and she had such a huge belly that it was so difficult to move and could not grasp why one would wait so long. Although I understand God is constantly purifying us, it was difficult to understand the stubbornness in her walk with Christ. I am not judging just giving a candid review.

I basically hung my proverbial underwear out on the clothesline for the whole neighborhood — and the internet — to see when I wrote this memoir. I made that vulnerable choice, hoping that anyone who’s ever stumbled through life with a mix of faith, humor, and ‘oh Lord, help me’ might feel a little less alone. If you want a memoir that doesn’t pretend to be perfect — but will absolutely make you laugh and maybe even tear up — this one’s for you. I’d love for you to read it and see just how extraordinary an ordinary life can be.
