Publisher's Summary

If you are born into ineffable darkness, can you even comprehend the light?

Take one-part volatile home life, two-parts haphazard nomadic existence, zero-parts social connection, and shake well. Our protagonist's only constant is unpredictability: that, and the charismatic, fundamentalist hammerings from the pulpit.

But, when a sheltered child goes nuclear? Just pray you are far from the exclusion zone.

Can a toxic cocktail of compounded trauma, spiritual warfare, and an unfettered nosedive into addiction be overcome?

Join Rachel on her passage through the underworld, as she searches for the means to reassemble her splintered psyche while wrestling against such things.

Raw and honest

This book is inspiring, riveting and shocking. I can’t imagine how Rachel survived the trauma she did, as well as coming out the other side of addiction. I am in awe. You won’t forget this book quickly.
