Synopsis

The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her grandmother forced her to go to church, a place Lacey thought was filled with hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. The screaming match she had with her grandmother was the reason she went to church. What she found there was the reason she is alive today.

With raw vulnerability, this hard-rock princess tells her own story of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, and her ultimate salvation. She asks the hard questions so many young people are asking—Why am I here? Why am I empty? Why should I go on living?—showing us that beyond the temporary highs and the soul-crushing lows, there is a reason they exist and a purpose for their lives. She not only gives listeners a peek down the rocky path that led her to become a vocalist in a popular hardcore band, but she shows them that the same God is guiding their steps today.

Goodreads review by Dan on October 03, 2014

This book was amazing! I had heard different parts of Lacey's story from the various testimonies she gave as the lead singer of the band Flyleaf. Her story touched me because I, too, had a difficult past with depression, a hatred of God/Christians/Anyone who was happy, and suicide. After hearing mor......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on June 04, 2018

When I was the farthest from God I've ever been, I would throw CDs that people had given me away if I found it was Christian music...except for Flyleaf. It was impossible to deny the power that band had, largely because of Lacey Moseley (at the time) and her extraordinary screams. When she left, I w......more

Goodreads review by Laura on November 10, 2014

Lacey is one of my favorite singers from the last decade. I will always adore her and her music will always affect me very deeply...but this book was nauseating. She is a born-again Christian and from page one in the book she comes across as one. The best way to describe this book is....Christian. I......more
