Bøker av Bailey Larroquette

All of her life has been a struggle to survive, and now Brenda has a new battle to add to the burden: to ensure her baby brother doesn't have to live the abuse she and her sisters endured. Life in Hatchet Prairie is a relentless mountain ahead of her, with her toxic family and the demanding religion of the community. And even though she originates from the tightly stitched establishment, Brenda feels like she has always been on the outside looking in and that she wasn't meant to stay in its stifling wraps. Clawing out from under is her best option for addressing the constant rejection of an independent thinker, and she determines to leave if nothing else. A local t-shirt is printed with: "Hatchet Prairie is not the end of the world, but you can see it from there".So what or who is the real solution, and where does the forgiveness demanded of her fit in? Brenda wants to believe God loves and cares for her, but her upbringing keeps cutting into her view of the Father, who clearly thinks she is to die for and wants to take all the pieces and create a new tapestry . . .
