Watermelons for Sale
By Erica Baskerville
What happens when the God you begged to save your child doesn't show up?
When four-year-old hands go still and heaven stays silent, where do you put your faith?
Erica Baskerville thought she understood the deal: pray hard, believe harder, and God would come through. She'd built her life on Sunday school promises where miracles arrived just in time and faithful people got happy endings… Then leukemia wrote a different story.
This isn't the book about the healing that came. It's about the faith that survived when it didn't.
From a ten-year-old selling watermelons on a dusty Mississippi roadside to a mother holding her son's hand in a sterile Baltimore hospital, Watermelons for Sale is an unflinching journey through the spaces we don't talk about in church: the place between "God is good" and "life is cruel," between desperate prayers and devastating silence.
With raw honesty that will leave you breathless and unexpected moments that will make you smile through tears, Erica reveals:
What worship sounds like when your throat is raw from screaming at God
How to find the sacred in grocery store aisles and garage floor breakdowns
Why the God who doesn't rescue might be more trustworthy than the one who always does
How our deepest scars become the sweetest parts of who we are
