The Girl in the Skirt

The Girl in the Skirt is a true story of growing up with little, holding tightly to family and faith, and discovering that the circumstances we begin with do not have to define where our story ends.

From childhood memories and seasons of hardship to unexpected opportunities, heartbreak, and moments of grace, Joy shares the experiences that shaped her journey from poverty to a life of purpose.

This memoir is about family, faith, resilience, and the God who remains faithful through every season.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your beginnings can really change, this story is a reminder:

Your story is still being written.
