What do you do when pain becomes normal? When dysfunction feels like home?
Brandy grew up in a world where fear masqueraded as love and chaos felt like the only constant. Her childhood was marked by brokenness, and before she could even heal, life handed her new battles: teenage pregnancy, toxic relationships, and a relentless cycle of lust, addiction, and shame. Survival meant burying herself deeper into the very things that threatened to destroy her. For years, she lived in a grave of her own making, buried beneath trauma, anger, regret, and the lies that told her she would never be more than her mistakes.
But God had other plans.
Addicted to Pain
is not just a memoir; it's a testimony. With raw honesty and unflinching vulnerability, Brandy invites you into the darkest corners of her story: the secrets that suffocated her, the betrayals that broke her, and the choices that left her drowning in shame. Yet this isn't where her story ends. In the very soil of her suffering, God planted seeds of grace. What once looked like death became the ground where new life took root.
This is a story of redemption. Of learning that worth isn't earned, it's given. Of discovering that even in the middle of dysfunction, God is writing a story of restoration. It's about a woman who lost herself to pain but found her truest identity in Christ.
If you've ever wondered if you're too far gone... if your past is too heavy... if your scars are too deep... this book whispers a different truth:
your grave is not the end. It can become the very garden where resurrection begins.
