BARBIE IN REAL LIFE (BOOK)
Barbie Durham
From a young age, Barbie seemed to have a charmed life. But behind closed doors, secrets abounded. Who was that woman sitting at the kitchen table? Where did her brother go? The heart-wrenching answers defined Barbie’s youth.
As a wife and mother, Barbie was living the life many young girls dream about. She had a dream house, a dream husband, and children whose love filled her life. Her family went to church together and prayed together. But once again, trauma, turmoil, and deception ripped their way through Barbie’s dream life.
In her debut memoir, Barbie in Real Life, Barbie Durham shares her story of decades of pain and loss--and how a life that could appear so perfect can also hold a darkness so deep that only God could break through.
When in great pain and at death’s door, can Jesus miraculously heal? When reeling from betrayal, overwhelmed by hurt and anger, can Jesus miraculously intercede? When confronted with the depths of despair springing from loneliness and abandonment, can God restore joy? Barbie’s testimony of the power of God will have every reader shouting, “Yes! He can!”
Through each powerful chapter, Barbie Durham shares her story with transparency and clarity. Sometimes shocking and gritty in it’s truth, Barbie in Real Life is an unforgettable book that will melt your heart and minister to it at the same time. Barbie Durham, a New York native, is a speaker, certified health coach, and teacher. She has two children and resides in Tempe, Arizona.
