Dodging Her Chariot grips the reader throughout with tears and laughter spanning the first sixteen years of the author’s life in this first of a four book series. Marie’s writing delivers a clear message that comes from her survival. No one who knows her well can miss the point that her personal relationship with Jesus stands in the center of her being and is the source of the courage to put these stories on paper. Yet you will not be flodded with that message; it too revealed with grace. I use that word in its two most common meanings to say that the reader will find a beautiful fluidity in her words and thoughts and the humbling mystery that brings one from the depths of agony to the heights of joy, forgiveness and love.
