Brenda is the youngest of Deacon John Wilson’s four children. He tries to keep them all on the straight and narrow, but his strict, religious practices only ignite a pattern of rebellion for Brenda. The day she loses her virginity, she conceives a child. The problem is she is sixteen and pregnant out of wedlock, an issue a 1968 society uses to reject young girls. Her dreams of someday becoming a wife and mother, living happily-ever-after are diminished when the father of her unborn child rejects her, the church shuns her, and her father’s words, “You are ruined!” send her on an emotional tailspin.
Her quest for love, acceptance, and validation leads her on a journey of poor choices in men, friends, and indulgence in drugs from marijuana to heroin. Her tumultuous trek takes her from the church house, to the dope house, to the whorehouse, and eventually the jailhouse.
Will this good girl lost find her way? Will she redeem herself and her faith in God? Will she realize her worth is not based on the judgment of others? Will she recognize true love when it crosses her path or will she keep running from her pain?

The Baptist Junkie edition by Telshia Berry Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
"The Baptist Junkie" by Telishia Berry is story of forgiveness. Brenda grows up in a family where they were taught to live their lives as children of God. Brenda was curious about the life that her father preached so hard against.That curiosity lead her to make a decision that ultimately changes her life. She felt she bought shame and disappointment to her family. Brenda was not strong enough to deal with the consequences of her actions. In "The Baptist Junkie" we follow her through her downfall. We watch her hit rock bottom thinking that she will not recover. You will find yourself praying that she falls on her knees and just start praying. You get caught up in her life and you know that the only thing that will save her is prayer. Through it all she always has her father voice whispering in her ear. Either quoting bible verses or condemning her for her mistake. Which one of the voices are stronger?
Once Brenda learns to forgive herself she will begin to heal.
Do not be surprised if you know Brenda or even if you are Brenda.
You will enjoy "Baptist Junkie"
Good book
Talented writer !
This book is an awesome story of redemption and family. The father may have been too much, but he loved his daughters. very real.
This was a very good book. I happen to live in Saginaw 30 miles from Flint. This book was so real to me, some of the places she talked about I knew about. Brenda was around my age, I remember the records they played as I played them to. This was a book that can be used for self help. All praises go up.
It was an eye opener. I enjoyed this book.
Wonderful book well written tastefully doneππππ
