My name is Texas and this is my story. The daughter of a Southern Baptist pastor, I ran away from home when I was 17. For 28 years I traveled a path that took me to places from which few return. Unhealthy relationships and unbridled lusts corrupted my view of freedom and left me cornered in addiction--financed by crafty manipulation and drug dealing. My tainted knowledge of love and polluted desire for escape kept me on a treacherous treadmill that continually fed the heartache of those I loved. But, through it all, the One who loved me unconditionally remained. This is my unvarnished account of the years I spent running and what brought that season to its redeeming end.

Seller's Description:
Good. Books may have damage such as dents creases and folded pages. Some books may have writing or highlighting inside. Extras or accessories are not guaranteed. Digital codes and CDs are not tested and may not work.
If this book doesn't make you cry, there's something seriously wrong with you. I wept at times, on my bunk, in front of hardened grown men in jail. Texas, or texass's vernacular and writing style captivated me and had me clinging to her every word. Course there arent many books in jail but thank God a young man I knew from the streets put this one in my hands! I happen to be from Tampa and her story is based in central and south Florida. If you or someone you know has a drug problem, I desperately beg you to read this book or buy them a copy and gift it to them.

Not many are named "Texas" and this drew me.
This memoir based story was compelling and I caught the "hook" easily and early on. I don't often sit in one place to read until it is finished, but this story and storyline captivated me within the first 10 pages. I began one evening and finished it the next morning. It is a story for shedding light on brokenness gone bad and how corrosive atmospheres beg for trouble. It is a common misconception that drug addicts only come from god-forsaken homes. This story takes an "in your own heart" approach to responsibility and often is gut-wrenching, at least for me. Having 6 adult children raising their own, I found myself looking at what was acceptable and not acceptable parenting and my inabilities to not see what was clearly visible had I slowed down to observe. I highly recommend this, if not for you but for a friend of yours who needs hope.
