Someone Like Me is the true story of a young girl born into a poor, dysfunctional family headed up by an alcoholic father and unstable mother. Jane Edwards longed for escape until the age of fourteen when she took drastic measures to make it happen.

Less than two years later, she met a rich and charming service man who swept her off her feet with promises that would turn any young girl’s head. Before he rushed her into marriage, he revealed himself to be jealous, dishonest, possessive, and explosive. But young Jane—worldly unwise and lacking in self-worth—failed to recognize the fervently waving red flags and, whisked far from everything familiar, discovered that Jerry’s wealth and promises were delusional fantasies. She soon found herself trapped in a nightmarish existence that greatly diminished the wretchedness of her childhood.

After a chance hearing and acceptance of the gospel of Christ, Jane begins a spiritual journey that was greatly hindered by Jerry’s atheistic inclinations and aversion to all things Christian—until he realized the value to his own advantage.

Though hard to put down, Someone Like Me is difficult to read but for the moments of subtle humor to out-loud laughter that reveal a side to Jane that was beneficial to her mental and emotional survival.
