CHICAGO TRIBUNE BESTSELLER • For readers of Orange Is the New Black and The Glass Castle, a riveting memoir about a lifelong secret and a girl finding strength in the most unlikely place

In 1979, Liz Pryor is a seventeen-year-old girl from a good family in the wealthy Chicago suburbs. Halfway through her senior year of high school, she discovers that she is pregnant—a fact her parents are determined to keep a secret from her friends, siblings, and community forever. One snowy January day, after driving across three states, her mother drops her off at what Liz thinks is a Catholic home for unwed mothers—but which is, in truth, a locked government-run facility for delinquent and impoverished pregnant teenage girls.

In the cement-block residence, Liz is alone and terrified, a fish out of water—a girl from a privileged, sheltered background living amid tough, street-savvy girls who come from the foster care system or juvenile detention. But over the next six months, isolated and in involuntary hiding from everyone she knows, Liz develops a surprising bond with the other girls and begins to question everything she once held true. Told with tenderness, humor, and an open heart, Look at You Now is a deeply moving story about the most vulnerable moments in our lives—and how a willingness to trust ourselves can permanently change who we are and how we see the world.

Praise for Look at You Now

“A funny, tender and brave coming-of-age tale.”—People

“A poignant, often funny reminder that we learn who we are when we’re at our most challenged.”—Good Housekeeping

“Searingly honest.”Family Circle

“Readers will swiftly be drawn into the author’s compassionate retelling of her teen pregnancy—her fear, shame, regret, joy, and even her forgiveness of her parents for sending her away. This coming-of-age memoir is authentic and unforgettable.”—Publishers Weekly

“[Liz] Pryor’s refusal to bury the truth of her experiences is the greatest strength of her book. Her honesty about a youthful error and desire to let that honesty define the rest of her life are both uplifting and inspiring. An unsentimental yet moving coming-of-age memoir.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Pryor has vivid memories of her time in the facility, and her straightforward, unvarnished narrative, written as if by her seventeen-year-old self, rings true. Her story is well worth sharing.”—Booklist

“I started reading this book thinking it was a compelling, honest, sometimes funny, sometimes poignant look at the world of teenage pregnancy, and knowing it would offer an inside look at the places where girls used to be hidden away until their babies came. I finished it damp-eyed and understanding that Look at You Now is much more than that. It is a story about how family dynamics work. It is about how wrenching it is to give away something born of your flesh, even if you know it’s the right decision. It’s about how much we can learn from people very much different from us. Most of all, it is a subtle, graceful story about how sometimes the worst things in our lives work best to shape our characters into something shining and true, something that will serve us for the rest of our lives.”—Elizabeth Berg, author of The Dream Lover

“Liz Pryor’s story is shocking, moving, riveting, and, ultimately, inspiring. She writes like a natural, can balance humor and sorrow perfectly, and in Look at You Now, has written a pitch-perfect memoir.”—Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life

How to understand the regions of captivity you may find yourself in and be free in Jesus name.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I enjoyed the reading of Regions of Captivity by Dr. Ana Mendez Ferrell, recommended by my Pastor at SGLM. This book is so important in our understanding of the different levels of regions captivity, we can find ourselves in and not realize that we are in bondage as a Christian or as a non-Christian. All we know that things are not working out, you are feeling a certain way, and you keep seeing a repeat of things happening in your life and in your family life as well, that's because your soul is in captivity in one of the regions that's revealed in this book. I highly recommend this book so you will know how to fight and release your soul and your bloodline out of these regions of captivity. And I thank God for showing us how the enemy is fighting against us in the spiritual realm and how we can be set free, because whom the LORD sets free is free indeed. Amen

I definitely plan on reading this book again-it is necessary to read it a few times to better understand some things
It was a very unique book. IT opens a whole new dimension to spiritual warfare-it's incredible but a little advanced for me. I'm no stranger to demonic warfare as I have cleared a few houses of this phenomina and my own from time to time. Surely this is the most advanced book I have run across. It also deals with healing and getting into the spirit to stand before and talk directly to God and Jesus. I have a friend that also visits the holy one's and Anna's experiences are very similir so I believe her wholeheartedly. She then exposes how the Demons take controll of whole cities-I read this also in John Ramirez's books(he was an ex-satan worshiper) so I think she is spot on. Also of interest is the multi-generational curses that hold families hostage-she gets into that too. I disagree strongly with her view on astral projection-it is not always demonic in nature. I have done it for many years and I am not satanic at all-but a strong believer in God. Also I disagree with her views about hospitals. I definitely plan on reading this book again-it is necessary to read it a few times to better understand some things. If someone is interested in opening themselves up to seeing and hearing in the spirit world this is one of the books to read.
