The Little Girl Wins

They say every family has a story--including the good, the bad and the ugly. The Little Girl Wins is the complicated, messy, and beautiful story of Jessica Strong and her father, Jimmie Bratcher. Theirs is a decades-long journey rotted in the pain of abandonment.

Yet, by the grace of God, a story that ends in love, forgiveness, and redemption. This powerful memoir reaches into the depths of a daughter’s broken heart, and a father’s regret to show that even in the most painful of family situations, it is possible to move from hurt to healing. Jessica and Jimmie’s story is a testament that proves God can take hearts and a family that was once broken, and make it whole.

Life is too short to live it in bitterness and unforgiveness. For those living their own painful family journeys, Jessica and Jimmie show how the courageous choice of reconciliation can overcome the fear and separation of estrangement.

Jimmie Bratcher has been “preaching the gospel and playing the blues” ministering in churches and non-church venues as bars, clubs, music festivals, motorcycle rallies and prisons in the United States and United Kingdom since 2000.
