A Product of a Pimp and a Prostitute

My Forgiveness Journey

De: Charles Lisa

Narrado por: Charles Lisa

A Product of a Pimp and a Prostitute is an inspirational memoir about the topic of forgiveness written from the point of view of an adult daughter as a letter to her biological mother. Reared by her maternal grandmother - Hazel - Charles Lisa confronts her mother Deborah on her absence in her life growing up and outlines all the limited and negative interactions she has had with her as a child and into adulthood.

Recalling memories from her youth, Charles Lisa stirs up past feelings of neglect, embarrassment, and despair over the knowledge of having a mother with a life-long criminal record and a debilitating drug addiction. She tells this story by sharing her experiences, her mother’s jailhouse letters, stories told by her elders throughout the years and, most importantly, her belief in God.

The book’s pivotal moment occurs when the author offers the gift of forgiveness to her mother and demonstrates how her mother and other listeners can benefit from God’s forgiveness, self-forgiveness, forgiving others, and accepting forgiveness from those who offend them to have a more fulfilling life.
