Beautifully Broken (ePub)

I am a small town, country girl that looks at our familys farm as the place I called where I grew up although we moved over 20 times and went to 12 different schools in 13 years. I was raised an Independent Baptist preachers kid. (Dont write me off yet!!) When I was a girl I wrote my story of the way my life was going to be.

Through many mistakes, addictions, two kids and ten years later, we were divorced. I did not grow up playing the single mom that was over worked, under paid and terrified at every turn I would lose my house and my kids.
