Every Beat of my Heart - Emily Gregg - Bog

Emily Gregg's debut novel and heartfelt memoir delves deep into what it means to be human-and illustrates that no matter how far away redemption feels, you can always get back up and meet life head on.
From exotic dancer to choosing adoption for her unplanned teen pregnancy, Emily's life has been a self-described series of stumbles and triumphant victories of rising again.
Readers of Emily's memoir will enjoy a well-written, close-to-the-heart novel about love and life. Emily chronicles her parents' failing marriage and her father's abuse, which led to her being starved for love. From elementary to high school, Emily learned life lessons, tested the limits of the law, and found herself in more than one sticky situation. Still, through her troubles, God never left her side.
Journey with Emily through her days couch-surfing, dancing, experimenting with drugs, and giving birth-all the while, God helps her realize the life she's living isn't the one she wants for the rest of her existence. Watch in awe as she transforms her reality into one she's proud to have.
Every Beat of My Heart: A Memoir of Redemption is an accessible read for many groups, including those in situations like a crisis pregnancy, addiction, and physical or mental abuse. It's also a relatable and heartfelt read for teen moms, those who are weighing the options of abortion and adoption, and parents of girls.
