emotional funny hopeful inspiring fast-paced

5.0

"I'd spent my entire adult life looking for someone I'd already found. Looking for something else about him. For what his face looked like in this light or that ... looking up and down the lives of those who'd also searched for him and found him to see if they'd stumbled onto something I'd missed."

I was not prepared for how I would respond to this memoir. I was shocked at how much Beth Moore's story resonated with my own story. I was surprised at all the emotions and tears this brought up for me. As a woman in ministry who also started by serving middle school girls, so much of this book was comforting to me. I felt very seen and known in such a unique way. I would recommend this to any woman to read, but especially to any woman in ministry.

The author is such an excellent storyteller,  gifted with words, so you can feel everything with her without it being graphic. So much truth, tragedy, trauma, raw, honesty, faith & hope.
