When two bike-riding missionaries knock on Al Carraway's door in Rochester, New York, the tattooed, coffee-drinking twenty-one-year-old never imagines she'll be baptized, lose her father and friends, and move alone across the country to Utah. In this frank, energetic memoir, Al recounts her conversion, the loneliness and judgment she faced, and the temple, marriage, and purpose she found along the way. Part testimony, part encouragement, her story turns from "my story" into "your story," inviting every reader to keep going and trust God. A tattooed, coffee-drinking New Yorker who told missionaries to bring her a steak—and ended up baptized and speaking to thousands. A raw, honest look at what conversion actually costs: losing every friend and being disowned by your father. The wildly popular blog post that became a book—reaching over a million views in half a day. For anyone who's ever felt judged, different, or like they don't fit in at church. “We are BLESSED by our EFFORTS of trying, not perfection.”Perfect for a Latter-day Saint (especially a convert, youth, or young single adult) who feels different, judged, or discouraged and needs an energetic, relatable reminder to keep going and trust God.
