Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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.

A Sweet Story of God’s Love and Grace

I love this first hand account of how God gives beauty for ashes! I hope others who think that God can’t possibly care about their insignificant lives can hear this and realize we are ALL precious in His sight!

Poignant

Heartrending story told first-person so effectively—honest but not graphic. Window to the child’s mind who covers nicely the drastic wrongdoing of a parent and pays a high price.

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!
