A Different Side of Hollywood : White Girls Don't Get Shot

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In 1998, Mandy L. Updegraff moved to Hollywood to be a missionary with the Presbyterian Church through an organization called The Hollywood Urban Project (HUP). Her memoir documents the inward struggle to see herself as God sees her in a town full of extraordinarily beautiful people. During the five years that Mandy spent at HUP, she battled depression as well as her ethnic identity as a white woman serving a community of Latino immigrants. Mandy found herself initiated into a world of gangs and violence, a far cry from her suburban upbringing. Hollywood life also brought many deep relationships and transforming experiences. Her own stories are entwined with the lives of her neighbors, who offer courageous and moving examples of what it means to be faithful.
