What happens when an Evangelical pastor's daughter from Branson, Missouri moves to New York City? A collapse of identity that begins a journey to figure out faith, f *cking, and the 1%. With humor and raw honesty, God, Sex, and Rich People follows Mattie Jo as she takes off her purity ring, navigates public transportation, and tries to have good sex without hating herself.

In Too Much and Not Enough, author Karen Shock writes with a refreshingly brutal honesty about her experiences growing up under the influence of toxic theological systems that left her doubting her sanity, her identity, and her voice. Like many men and women who have been hurt by the church they loved, or betrayed by the pastors they trusted, Karen’s story is filled with disappointment and grief. But, as she writes from her heart and makes room for healing, she discovers a deeper hope, and a surprising amount of grace waiting for her—and all of us—on the other side.

This is a story of hope. Of profound, personal change from a life of obesity and depression to a life of love and freedom.
