"I decided to admit once and for all that I didn't know what I was doing, what I thought, what I believed, even sometimes if I truly believed." After twenty years of unbelief, estranged from her childhood faith, Michelle DeRusha found herself wrestling with questions of spirituality, and frustrated by the lack of clear answers. Until she realized that the questions themselves paved a way for faith. One woman's journey toward an understanding that belief and doubt can coexist. This candid memoir reveals how being honest about our questions, our fears, and our discomfort with black-and-white definitions of faith can move us toward an authentic and a deepening relationship with God. A Massachusetts native, Michelle DeRusha moved to Nebraska in 2001, where she discovered the Great Plains, grasshoppers the size of Cornish hens -- and God. She writes about finding and keeping faith in the everyday at michellederusha.com, as well as for the Lincoln Journal Star, Prodigal Magazine and The High Calling. She's mom to two bug-loving boys.
