Someone Like Me

SOMEONE LIKE ME is the true story of Jane Edwards, a young girl born into a poor, dysfunctional family headed up by an alcoholic father and an unstable mother. Jane longs for escape until the age of fourteen when she takes drastic measures to make it happen.

Less than two years later, she meets a rich and charming service man who sweeps her off her feet with promises that would turn any young girl's head. Before rushing her into a hasty marriage, he reveals himself to be jealous, possessive, explosive and dishonest. But young Jane--worldly unwise and lacking in self-worth--fails to recognize the fervently waving red flags. Soon whisked far away from everything familiar, she discovers that Jerry's wealth and promises were delusional fantasies, and finds herself trapped in a nightmarish existence that diminishes the wretchedness of her childhood.

After a chance hearing and acceptance of the gospel of Christ, Jane begins a spiritual journey that is greatly hindered by Jerry's atheistic inclinations and aversion to all things Christian--until he realizes its value to his own advantage.





Though hard to put down, SOMEONE LIKE ME is difficult to read but for the moments of subtle humor to out-loud laughter that reveal a side to Jane that was beneficial to her mental and emotional survival.
