She was a good girl. Until she wasn't.

For years, Avis lived under the weight of expectations- her family's, her church's, and a version of God that demanded perfection and punished honesty. But when pleasing everyone meant losing herself, she walked away from it all. What followed was pain, clarity, and the kind of freedom that only comes after rock bottom.

Told through the unfiltered reflections and fierce vulnerability, Avis's story is a journey of deconstructing harmful theology, confronting familial wounds, and rediscovering faith-not in a distant, angry deity, but in a Christ of radical love, justice, and compassion. This is not your mother's religion.

If you've ever felt like you don't belong in the faith you were handed, this book is your permission to question, unravel, and begin again.
