From ‘Road Kill’ to ‘Angel Food’ is a real-life journey that Mary Day Simms took from her physical and emotional low to her spiritual high. Lynchburg native Mary has been through numerous tests and challenges in her Ohio-American life, she was brought right to the edge. But with faith, hard work, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, she came through each of them. This powerful story guides the reader through the struggles of her life, from child abuse to struggles as an adult each building the character she would become.

Consequently, using sincere emotions Mary shares with readers the descriptions of the horrible roads, hard ascents, and black tunnels that her path was filled with. However, she encouraged herself and turned every “road kill” into improvement and received them as her “angel food” being comforted by her faith in God. This personal narrative is more than a form of storytelling; people who have not yet identified their way forward toward wholeness, reconciliation, and forgiveness are placed in the author’s shoes so that they are reminded that even something as dreadful as rape and molestation has its silver lining —God’s light.
