Known as "the feisty one," young Barbara will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her younger siblings from the predators in their lives. Her experiences are extraordinary—from countless nights sleeping under a clawfoot tub to evade her abuser to witnessing the burning of an interracial couple. Though the self-appointed protector of her mother from various abusers, those lessons were not always applied as she pursued her own adult relationships.

Whom we commit our will to, and whether we do so in service to God or to ourselves, sheds light on the kind of people we are.

Those who are saddened: They experience a profound conviction of the wickedness of their lives and are overcome by the kindness and grace of God.
