The dramatic story of a young girl's faith that conquered alcoholism and insanity.
They locked her in a mental institution. But was she really insane? No one knew for sure, not even Mary herself. One thing was certain, though— she wanted to get out of the mess that her drinking, her crime, and her defiance had created.
Find out how Christ delivered her from hopelessness to a new life that had love and meaning. Drawn from the actual experiences of the delinquent girls that author John Benton has encountered, here is proof that Jesus can transform anyone's life.
Content warning: attempted suicide, car theft, police chase, homophobia
Mary is crazy in the sense that she continually makes the stupidest, most impulsive decisions. She uses very bad judgment.
This is a good book.
From the back cover of Cindy:
There were two sides to her life—mother and streetwalker.
Cindy was a prostitute. Turning tricks was the only way she knew to support her addiction to heroin. But how could she take care of her little girl Melody when she couldn't even manage her own life? Like many young girls today, Cindy was confused and alone in an impersonal, uncaring society. Loving mother or drug addict and streetwalker—which person was the real Cindy? CINDY is the story of her struggle to decide.
Content: prostitution, drugs
Much of this book was not that interesting to me. A good amount of the book is devoted to events surrounding the creation of the Walter Hoving Home. This doesn't necessarily mean that the book is boring; I just wasn't interested in reading it.
I skimmed this book.
