I Haven't Always Been a Good Girl - Paperback

by Carolyn Clay Bush (Author)

I Haven't Always Been a Good Girl is an extraordinary, intimate detail of the life of a young black girl who grew up in a small town in Lake Providence, Louisiana.

In this book, I denote what life was like growing up in a very poor community. Facing a life that was filled with disappointments, rejections, and heartaches was not easy for me. I had to deal with so many obstacles in my life, like bullying, rape, physical abuse, mental illness, suicide, sexual assault, and the consequences of having unprotected sex.

My life story tells about a lot of life's situations that I am not proud of, but none that I can change. My book is intended to empower and encourage other women not to become victims of the harsh realities that I endured, but to seek the victory in their lives through Jesus Christ.
