A Grifter Dad. An Abusive Stepfather. A Suffocating Religious Home Life. And A Girl Determined to Break Free.
What would you do if your stepfather pinned you down and tried to cast Satan out of you? For thirteen-year-old Ingrid, the answer is simple: RUN.
In her gripping NYT-bestselling memoir, Ingrid Ricks takes listeners into a tumultuous home life riddled with poverty, oppression and the suffocating brand of Mormon religion she is desperate to escape. Her chance finally comes when she begins hitting the road with her freewheeling dad, traveling throughout the Midwest, selling tools and hanging around with the men on his shady revolving sales crew. It feels like freedom from her controlling mother and cruel, authoritarian stepfather.
But it comes with its own disappointments and dysfunctions, and she soon learns the lesson that will change her life: she can't look to others to save her, she has to save herself.
