About the Book



Popular blogger and speaker shares the riveting details of what it was like to be the daughter of a con man and convicted criminal--along with her struggle to forgive and trust that God can work in any circumstance.



Book Synopsis



When Candice Curry was a little girl, she put her hand in her father's back pocket so that she wouldn't get lost in large crowds. Little did she know that as she followed him, he was plying his trade: conning people. Her family drove stolen cars, lived in stolen houses, and shopped with stolen credit cards. Drug use was regular, as were visits from strange people who were trying to track her father down. Though she eventually cut ties with her father, Candice could not ignore the scars that were left from her childhood.

This is her story, one steeped in secrets but one that, ultimately, led her to a place of forgiveness and freedom. As she struggles to understand her criminal father, as well as her own imperfect life, Candice comes to realize that we are not defined by our circumstances but rather by how we react to those circumstances. She's found peace in the knowledge that God doesn't love us because we're perfect--but because he is.



From the Back Cover



"A captivating story of hope and redemption."--Margaret Feinberg, author of Fight Back With Joy

Candice Curry didn't have a normal childhood. Normal is hard to come by when you are awakened in the night by your father--who is high on drugs--for a wild ride down the highway. Or when your father has a habit of "borrowing" things and never returning them. Or when imposing strangers show up at the door trying to track him down.

While her father found himself on the wrong side of the law, her mother put herself through nursing school and kept food on the table by working around the clock, which left Candice in the hands of a father who needed babysitting himself.

Through her struggles and brokenness, Candice finds freedom in forgiveness and love in the midst of tragedy. Join her on the winding road to discover the truth that God doesn't love us because we're perfect--but because he is.


"I had no intention to sit down and read this book cover to cover in one sitting, but Candice drew me into her story from the opening chapter."--Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author of Nobody's Cuter Than You

"This is a must-read! I couldn't put it down! Hope, help, and healing are in these pages."--Ken Freeman, author, evangelist, and motivational speaker
