Summary
One woman's fight to provide hope for the hopeless...
Seven ex-cons who changed her heart forever…
For Brenda Spahn, entrepreneur and businesswoman, wealth was a lifestyle - until a brush with the law threatened to send her to prison. In those dark moments, Brenda made a promise to God.
Spared incarceration, a renewed Brenda glimpsed into the lives of women serving time in one of the worst places in America - the JuliaTutwiler Prison for Women in Wetumpka, Alabama. What she saw prompted a God-inspired vision.
With a heart to help and a will that couldn't be crushed, Brenda fought the system and overcame tremendous obstacles to take ex-cons into her home and help them navigate the alien world of life on the outside.
This is the story of Brenda's journey from rags to riches to redemption. It's the story of the first unlikely year of her "Whole Way House" and of the extraordinary lives of the first seven women who came to call her "Miss Brenda". It's a story that testifies to the power of faith and how God changes hearts every day.

Miss Brenda
Not going to lie expected to turn this book on and after a chapter delete it. But was massively impressed by how good it actually was. Good to hear the women’s stories and especially Miss Brenda who could have retired and had a wonderful life. But instead put her life into this program. Would highly recommend

An Inspiring and Challenging True Story
It was fascinating to follow the story of the women at the Lovelady Centre, where they’d come from and where their journey took them.

Inspirational all the way through
Having been involved with the criminal justice system and also worked with people with life controlling addictions in the U.K. for 25 years, I could relate to much of what was written but found it fascinating, inspiring and humbling
all at the same time. It demonstrates, yet again, what God can accomplish through a human being who is willing to commit their lives to Him and obey Him in good and bad. It was humorous and, there is no doubt about it, Brenda has a big personality!!! I’ve already been recommending it to others.
The book reminded me a bit of David Wilkerson and The Cross and the Switchblade. Brenda and David shared a passion to see broken lives made whole by The power of the love of God and it became their life’s work.
