Summary
Details

Walk the Pretty Way Home is an extraordinary memoir about finding beauty in dark places. Myrl Talkington recounts her experiences growing up in poverty in the backwoods of Oklahoma after her father, an abusive radical preacher, moves Myrl, her terminally ill mother, and six siblings (one of whom was also abusive) to a remote farmland to avoid sending her mother for tuberculosis treatment. Myrl must fight to make her faith her own, rather than the twisted faith of her father, in order to stay focused on ""the pretty road"" while enduring neglect and abuse. A story of bravery and resilience, Talkington's poignant and often humorous memoir will make readers laugh, cry, and stand behind Myrl as she finds her voice in a world that attempts to silence her ... and discovers that although God's judgment may be fearsome, His grace is abundant.
