She was sold at fourteen. This is how she found her way home.​

Tina Dixon was fourteen years old the first time the Cadillac doors locked around her. She would spend years trying to find her way out of what happened next.

Going to the Country is the true memoir of a Louisiana girl trafficked through the bayou brothels and underground bars of the Deep South, caught up in addiction, and separated from her children before she found the God who had been beside her the whole time.

This is not a tidy story. The road from that Cadillac to freedom ran through broken marriages, crack houses, and cities across the country. It ran through the kind of shame that makes you believe you are too far gone to save. Tina Dixon knows that road better than most.

But she also knows what is waiting on the other side of it.

Written in a warm Southern voice that never flinches and never lets go, Going to the Country is for survivors who are still in the middle of their story. It is for women of faith who believe in a God who does not leave. And it is for anyone who has ever needed proof that a life can be rebuilt from the wreckage of what it used to be.

Tina Dixon made it through. This is how.
