A Wretch Like Me: A Modern Day Mary Magdalene Saved by Grace - Paperback

A Wretch Like Me is a bold, provocative, and raw memoir. It's also paving the way for others to be set free.

I couldn't imagine in a million years, that I would ever have the courage to face telling the world about this one ugly, vile secret I figured I'd die with. The truth of who and what I had been, how it happened, and the grace that saved me on the day my life imploded.

An anonymous packet was sent to business leaders throughout my community and surrounding thirteen-county area in 2006. As a business owner, I had made it a point to become well-known. When the president of one of the local chambers of commerce called me and I saw the packet for the first time, I literally couldn't breathe.

I was shell-shocked and utterly shattered. I wanted to die. No words could explain away or erase what had been written. I couldn't see any possible way to live with the guilt and shame of being "outed" as a prostitute.

If you've ever been tormented in a silent prison of shame over something you've done, haunted by a secret from your past, thought you were too broken, too bad, or too disgusting to be forgiven - you're not alone.

You haven't been forgotten or abandoned. You're loved more than you could ever imagine, and above all, you're NEVER too far gone for grace.

How would I know? Because grace saved a wretch like me.
