Yolanda Young grew up in the rambunctious but God-fearing
town of Shreveport, Louisiana, where people prayed as hard
as they gambled and loved as hard as they fought. Her
neighborhood’s unpaved streets were lined with shotgun
shacks, but lack of money didn’t stop her family from
teaching her bedrock values.
In this warm and heartfelt memoir, Yolanda Young unfolds
stories of innocence and experience, wisdom and redemption,
tragedy and deliverance: the strong lessons on which her
life and her faith are based.
