A fascinating true storyChrissy grew up surrounded by the beauty of love and the ugliness of pain. The daughter of a pastor whose church was located in a rough-and-tumble area of Brooklyn, she witnessed the ravaging effects of the streets on the lives of the most desperate--drug addicts, derelicts, and other destitute people. Yet her own home was a haven of warmth, filled with affection and love.Then something happened that tore her away from it. With the flip of a switch, Chrissy fell deeper and deeper into deception where haunting images and songs pointed to one thing--perfection. Longing to be the girl in the song, she became entangled in an obsessive relationship. Before long, secret after secret led her down the path to becoming someone she didn't even recognize. Locked in to an impossible life, Chrissy found release from a surprising direction.Girl in the Songtells the gripping, true story of a young woman whose choices led her to despair and incredible triumph. More than the story of one lost girl, Chrissy's experience points to the power of hope to lead us away from destructive relationships and into a life that just might end happily ever after.

Chrissy was raised in a Christian home (her father was the Pastor of their church) but she became distracted from God, her friends and family after she developed an obsession with a man who was a few years older than her. After cutting contact with everyone and abandoning her studies and various jobs for this man, she ends up pregnant and alone until she finally turns to God for help. Her story also deals with the powerful emotional impact of music and how it can be used for good but also for evil.
The author is now married and decided to write her very personal and traumatic story to try and influence other girls away from non-Christian relationships. She describes well the emotional ties that can be formed which can be very difficult to break free from.
I would recommend this book for any Christian who is either in one of these relationships or who is considering it. I hope Chrissy's story will encourage you to make the wise (and biblical decision) not to get into one of these relationships believing that God will bless it, as Chrissy discovered, it may end up nearly destroying you instead.
I am rating this 4 stars due to some minor theological issues that I personally don't agree with but I would still recommend this book. It is clean; free of bad language and violence and there is no detail of the sexual activity. (
