Inhaltsangabe

For most of her life, Kelly Taylor believed the problem was her.

She spent decades searching for acceptance-in her family, in relationships, in achievement, and in the mirror-while carrying wounds she couldn't explain and shame she could never seem to outrun. Childhood rejection, body-image struggles, addiction, broken relationships, and years of silence left her wondering if she would ever truly belong.

Then, in her fifties, a long-buried family secret shattered everything she believed about her identity.

But what seemed destined to destroy her became the beginning of true freedom.

When God's Grace Found Me is a deeply honest memoir of hidden pain, unimaginable loss, and the relentless grace of God. With vulnerability and hope, Kelly shares the journey from performance to peace, from secrecy to truth, and from striving for approval to discovering the unchanging love of Christ.

If you've ever questioned your worth, wrestled with shame, carried family wounds, or wondered whether God could redeem your story, these pages will remind you of one life-changing truth:

Your past does not define you. Your identity has never belonged to your circumstances.

It has always belonged to God.

This story proves that no secret is too deep, no wound too old, and no life too broken for His redeeming grace.

I actually like this more than a typical memoir description because it mirrors the emotional arc of Kelly's introduction. It invites readers who identify with her pain before revealing the central twist, making the discovery more compelling and allowing the book's real message-God's redemption-to remain the true focus.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

KELLY TAYLOR has spent most of her life making people laugh, and the better part of it learning how to tell the truth.The oldest of five, she grew up in Minneapolis and came of age on the water at Spring Lake, where a postcard childhood covered over a good deal that went unspoken. She married young, raised three daughters through the hardest years of her life, and carried secrets for decades, some of them her own and some handed to her by other people. At fifty-four she learned the truth about her own paternity, and everything she thought she knew about her family, and about herself, had to be rebuilt from the ground up.Somewhere in the middle of all that, she became a professional clown.For more than twenty years Kelly performed at birthday parties, company picnics, singing telegrams, and corporate events. She played a Christmas elf at Macy's alongside Mr. and Mrs. Santa, and she once won a paid radio spot with a jingle she wrote about sirloin steak. Her best-known creation, Gert the Flirt (old as dirt, lookin' for a hot man named Bert), turned up at Saint Paul Saints baseball games in a wig, a cane, and a pillow stuffed into a pair of spandex shorts, twirling and twerking her way through the innings to the delight of an entire ballpark.Kelly is the mother of three daughters and a grandmother who counts her grandchildren as the purest joy she has. She credits her faith with carrying her through addiction, grief, divorce, and the long, unglamorous work of forgiving the people who hurt her, herself very much included.When God's Grace Found Me is her first book. She wrote it for anyone who has ever sat at a table full of family and still felt completely alone.
