The girl who had been a popular leader in high school, who nailed a fine job during the Great Depression, sank to the bottom of alcoholism after she married a binge drinker. She sat there. Stuck. A mother of three girls. Wife of an unfaithful man. Hoping to die.

And then, softly, God found Audrey.

“She Fled God is not your typical faith memoir—it’s braver, grittier, and far more real. Muriel Canfield delivers an unflinching portrait of a woman shattered by life, held hostage by alcoholism, and nearly swallowed by despair. And yet, this is also a story of hope. Of grace. Of healing that comes not in a flash, but in fragile, flickering moments that eventually turn into a flame.”

"For anyone seeking hope in the struggle--fans of biographical fiction with grit.”
