03.01About the Book
While growing up in the segregated south of the 1950s, Voncil ‘Peaches’ Evans asked herself many times, Where Was God When I Cried? Join author Mary Shearer Eckert as she tells the story of Peaches, from a time not so long ago, a time of forced racial separation interwoven with blind acceptance and incestuous evil. Facing insurmountable odds, she clings to her tattered faith and will to survive like a lighthouse calling her through the storm. From a roach- and rat-infested clapboard house to becoming the pastor of her own church, Peaches Evans rises out of the ashes of her past. Where Was God When I Cried? is the true story of perseverance and inner fortitude. Her tale exemplifies the truth that God takes what Satan has intended for evil and turns it into good.
