In her memoir, the author candidly depicts the sexual, emotional, and physical abuse she went through from childhood to adulthood. Believing that she was not worthy of love, she did not expect God to show her love, patience, and appreciation. First and foremost, her mother abandoned her when she was four years old. Next, her father did the same thing. So it was hard for her to fathom that God would fully accept her unconditionally.
The author gives her readers a deep understanding of how the adults in her life made her feel. For example, her adoptive parents promised they would never hurt her as her parents did, but they broke her trust. Because of that, she felt that unconditional love was not possible for her. Despite her doubts and self-loathing, she still kept on going to find her place in the world. Of course, she encountered many bumps on the road, but these never stopped her from trying and establishing a bond with the Almighty.
White gives her readers an insider's glimpse of how one can accept, love, and embrace God. Despite her bad experiences, she realizes that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, a worldview that she clearly communicates in her writing.

The message conveyed is all about being resilient, determined, and passionate to seek the help needed. The author recounts her honest journey without holding back.
