From a single-wide trailer in the mountains of rural West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School, Mary Marantz's story is one of remembering our roots while turning our faces to the sky. From growing up in that trailer, where it rained just as hard inside as out and the smell of mildew hung thick in the air, Mary has known what it is to feel broken and disqualified because of the muddy scars leaving smudged fingerprints across our lives. Generations of her family lived and logged in those hauntingly treacherous woods, risking life and limb just to barely scrape by. And yet that very struggle became the redemption song God used to write a life she never dreamed of.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMixed with warmth, wit, and the bittersweet, sometimes achingly heartbreaking places we go when we dig in instead of give up, \u003ci\u003eDirt\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of healing. With gut-wrenching honesty and hard-won wisdom, Mary shares her story for anyone who has ever walked into the world and felt like their scars were still on display, showing that you are braver, better, and more empathetic for what you have survived. Because God does his best work in the muddy, messy, and broken--if we'll only learn to dig in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA gripping story of roots and redemption\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mary's story is one that will live deep in the corners of your heart forever, reminding you, through her own experiences and poignant, beautiful storytelling, that the good stuff of life is often found in the hardest circumstances.\"--\u003cb\u003eEmily Ley\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWhen Less Becomes More\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mary Marantz is a born storyteller!
