Brenda Wilson, like most children, needs the love and support of
her parents, especially her father. But, how can she love and obey the Father
she can't see when the father she lives with browbeats her and her siblings
with the letter of the Biblical law?
Sixteen-year-old Brenda is unexpectedly pregnant. The words spoken over her by her father, serve as her roadmap to hell. In need of something to quiet the din of harsh words, fast living, assorted men, drugs and alcohol become Brenda's way of self-medicating.
The Baptist Junkie by Telishia Berry puts on display the power of the spoken word. It also shows the danger of kept secrets. Most of all we're presented with the truth
of God's everlasting love and forgiveness in spite of our human failings.
