"Altha Burts openly reveals her long struggle to discover her true identity. Her mother died when she was a child. Her father ignored her. Men sexually abused her. She felt worthless, guilty, angry, and confused. Her search for meaning drove her into a lifestyle of emotional dependency, sexual confusion, and drugs, finally resulting in a mental breakdown. Then she found Christ and she became God's beloved child -- not a father's neglected daughter. She gradually changed as she stayed committed to discovering this new life in Christ. Altha was led by the Lord into a process of transformation which surfaced the underlying issues resulting from abuse and emotional deprivation. Issues that formerly she appeased by drugs and dependent relationships, could no longer be ignored. Could she now face the crippling feelings of inadequacy, anger, and depression, as well as overcome bulimia and anorexia? You'll see how God met Altha's pressing needs in the pages of this book. In the process you will discover that He is more than able to meet yours too." --Dr. Ed Murphy, former VP of OC International and part-time Associate Professor at San Jose Christian College, presently serving as Senior Advisor for the Africa Ministry Network.
