Your deepest pain can be your greatest trust. This powerful memoir from Grammy Award-winner Ashley Cleveland reminds us that even in the cheapest times of our lives, beauty can sparkle through. Ashley Cleveland was raised in a Southern family fractured by alcoholism, homosexuality, and the collapse of her parents' matrimony. She knew from the start that she was the "good-for-nothing" dark-colored sheep of her divided home, and she quickly learned to try out the part. Yet in her detrimental days of drugs, alcoholic beverages, and love-making, she experienced a forgiving God who was relentlessly faithful. Change did not come quickly. The brokenness did not disappear. But Ashley allowed God to cure her, to transform her needs, to bring courage to others through her voyage. Little by little she observed that it was her brokenness itself that God wished to use. This beautifully told story will need you from the back rooms of Nashville to the churches of the San Francisco Bay area to a sensitive new life where one female discovers that busted places often provide you with the best things we must give away.
