A Long Walk Back

By Jessica R. Williams

Ava is a sheltered young girl who lives with her parents and brother in a strong Christian environment. During the sixth grade, Ava transferred schools and things began to shift. Ava encounters a world she's never experienced. Leaving her old life and friends behind was hard, but what was in store took Ava completely out of her comfort zone. When Ava met Shelby they instantly became friends. Like many little girls, they spend hours each day playing house... until Shelby takes it too far, which starts Ava on a dark path that will consume her childhood. Ashamed to tell anyone what happened, Ava keeps the terrible memory to herself. As she grows up, Ava is confronted by more than she can handle. Exposed to violence at an age when innocence should be the norm, dealing with peer pressure, and struggling to hold on to her virginity. And as the cycle of violence and despair escalates, Ava finds herself drifting away from God's embrace. But can she find her way back before it's too late? A Long Walk Back is a compelling story about the power of God's love and the constant burden of pain. For many women, Ava's story shines a light on their own lives, as their journeys toward sanctification often strays. But like Ava, God's love shines brightly on them, too. Because their path towards His forgiveness... is illuminated by His love.
