The Con Man's Daughter

A Story of Lies, Desperation, and Finding God

By: Candice Curry

Narrated by: Jorjeana Marie

When Candice Curry was a little girl, she put her hand in her father's back pocket so that she wouldn't get lost in large crowds. Little did she know that as she followed him, he was plying his trade: conning people. Her family drove stolen cars, lived in stolen houses, and shopped with stolen credit cards. Drug use was regular, as were visits from strange people who were trying to track her father down. Though she eventually cut ties with her father, Candice could not ignore the scars that were left from her childhood.

This is her story, one steeped in secrets but one that, ultimately, led her to a place of forgiveness and freedom. As she struggles to understand her criminal father as well as her own imperfect life, Candice comes to realize that we are not defined by our circumstances but rather by how we react to those circumstances. She's found peace in the knowledge that God doesn't love us because we're perfect - but because he is.

very moving

Sometimes a book grabs you, connects, and moves you so much that it becomes hard to write a review. But, I did like it on so many levels. You'll just have listen yourself to see what I mean. The narrator did a great job.

Enjoyed this story

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. A story of a survivor, the power of prayer, and redemption is expertly told. Highly recommend!

Awesome testimony

This book was definitely a good testimony. It had me in tears during the hard times and then smiling during the times of blessings. I related a lot to this book in different ways. Thank you Candice for sharing your story!

Incredible!

This was an absolutely beautiful story.
I cried about 3 times, Everything she went through and the victory in finding Christ!

Beautiful Story of Redemption

Thank you Candice for sharing your story of pain, poor decisions and how God works through the tough times to mold us into people who can love and help others.

must read

gripping from the start. definitely a tearjerker. so many of these books I feel like I cannot stand up to such as missionaries going into the jungles or World War II survivors. But this book I could relate.

A beautiful story of redemption

Heart wrenching stories but see God‘s grace and mercy through it all, beautifully told her story so that others may be made whole

very good

well written, thought provoking, well read, little book with big impact, enjoyably, glad I listen to it, you won't regret it

Not what I expected…

I almost gave up on this book early. I have listened to way too many audiobooks and it has made me very skeptical and critical. I am so glad I stuck with it! It is a tragedy, a love story, therapy and a beautiful picture of redemption. This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster completely worth the ride. I can honestly say it is unlike anything I’ve heard before.

TRULY INSPIRING WELL WRITTEN MEMOIR

Just finished this amazing book! Each chapter of this book had me more and more astonished all the way until the end! This story of hardship and grief but more importantly courage and perseverance is truly inspiring! It is an excellent read.
