I am reviewing a copy of Once You Go In through She Writes Press and Netgalley:

When Carly Gelsinger was an awkward and lonely thirteen year old when she stumbles into Pine Canyon Assemblies of God. The church is a cracked stucco building on the outskirts of her remote small town. She finds her place despite apprehensions because she wants nothing more than to belong. She is soon on fire for God.

Carly Gelsinger speaks in tongues, slays demons, and follows her abusive pastor’s every word. It is not until her life is nearly destroyed that she finds the courage to leave.

Once You Go In is a coming of age story that deals with both the beautiful and dangerous aspects of absolute faith.

I give Once You Go in Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
