In her compelling memoir, But God, Lula Bradley-Scott chronicles her life's journey, marked by trials and tribulations, yet ultimately defined by resilience and redemption. Born as the youngest of seven children in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Lula's life was far from ordinary. Separated from her siblings at a young age, she was raised by her paternal aunt and uncle, only to be returned to her mother when she was nine-years-old.

As a teenager, Lula found herself entangled in a tumultuous marriage, becoming not only a wife, but a mother. Tragedy struck when she was widowed at the tender age of 22. Like her childhood experience, Lula's child would be separated from her to be raised by paternal relatives.

It seemed as if life had dealt Lula an unfair hand, but there was a divine plan at work. But God is not merely a recounting of Lula's hardships. It is a testament to her unwavering faith and the transformative power of God's love. When all seemed lost, Lula's life took a miraculous turn. She was reunited with her daughter and found love again, marrying a widower with three children.

Lula's story is one of hope and perseverance. It serves as a beacon of inspiration for those stuck in life's storms, encouraging them to seek their purpose. Through her experiences, she imparts wisdom on how to rise above pain and consequences, and become the person God intends one to be.

But God is a powerful narrative that underscores the fact that our past actions do not define us, but rather, it is who we become that truly matters. Lula's journey from pain to purpose is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome and triumph. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration and a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
