How does a woman survive abuse, betrayal, abandonment, financial ruin, and rejection for her gender by the two most important men in her life? He Left, God Stayed reaches into these painful experiences through the insightful backdrop of Davis's own story of being abandoned by her pastor husband for the gay community and rejected by her earthly father for her gender. She has courageously written on a topic others hesitate to expose because of the shame it carries. But in doing so, she helps readers to discover God's unshakable love and thereby to rise from defeat and dismay and to flourish in life and faith like never before.
