She was just a little girl, running from a mother's addiction, a knife in the kitchen, a home that was never supposed to be dangerous.
The Little Girl Running is the raw, true story of a childhood marked by alcoholism, neglect, and fear, and the relentless faithfulness of a God who never once let go.
From a small child trying to save her mother, to a terrified teenager surviving two home break-ins, to a young woman navigating foster care, grief, and the loss of her mother far too soon, Faith Cristiano holds nothing back. This is a story of running, from danger, from silence, from a version of herself she never should have had to become.
But it's also a story of what happens when the running stops. Thirteen years of waiting. A marriage she once wasn't sure would come. And a God who never stopped showing up.
If you've ever had to grow up too fast, carried a secret too heavy, or wondered whether God sees you in the fire, this book is for you.
This is not just a story of survival. It is a story of victory.
