Chronicling her journey from a conforming youth to a pioneering Baptist minister, the author reflects on the struggles against societal and religious norms. After grappling with self-worth and identity, she defied expectations by becoming one of the first women ordained in the South. Facing backlash for her progressive views on God’s gender and women's roles in the church, she highlights the broader issues of gender inequality and the challenges women encounter in both faith and society. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and reform.
