If You Can Survive Your Parents You Have Half a Chance is a powerful memoir of endurance, growth, and the pursuit of peace after a turbulent beginning. Audrey Phillips takes readers through the unconventional reality of her childhood, marked by instability, abuse, and loss, while showing how her belief in resilience and faith can carve a way forward.

From surviving abuse and betrayal to finding healing in faith and purpose in nursing, Audrey's journey is one of hard-won victories.
