An evangelical poster child's funny, heartbreaking story of how she untangled herself from the church-bound cliches of her youth in search of a faith she can fully own.
Fast rising young blogger Addie Zierman delivers a riveting memoir of growing up in the sheltered, us-versus-them monoculture of '90's-era evangelicalism. Not simply a critique of that culture, her story is of a lover's quarrel with God and his well-intentioned but sometimes injurious people. Addie bravely chronicles her journey through the pressures to conform, her first love, alcohol and the party scene, and her entrance--unprepared and angry--into marriage. She washes out of church and nearly her marriage on a dark sea of tequila and depression. But her return to love, fidelity, Jesus, and (perhaps toughest of all) his quirky followers is an unforgettable story that will resonate with millennial Christians everywhere.
