Phyllice Deveaux
Pretty Purses with Messy Contents is not just a book to read.
It confronts you.

It pulls at what you’ve learned to carry quietly.

It asks the questions you’ve avoided…
and refuses to let you look away.

The question is not simply, What’s in your purse?

But more intentionally, What’s in your purse
that no one sees?

Phyllice gets real about the things we carry in our purses. The contents all reflect something a little deeper when we take a moment to really think about it. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did. And I also hope that you will join me in being intentional about uncovering the messy parts with a trusted mental health professional.

“I did not write Pretty Purses with Messy Contents because I’m experiencing a midlife crisis or because I have all the answers. I wrote it because I know what it feels like to carry regret, guilt, grief and obligations for so many years without realizing how much they shaped my relationships, my decisions, my confidence and my expectations of God.”

For Every Woman Carrying More Than She Shows
Most people who purchase the book don't keep it for themselves. They buy copies for their mothers, sisters, friends and even colleagues who need the kind of healing that comes from reading about someone else's journey—one they can relate to, whether silently or out loud.

Pretty Purses with Messy Contents is more than a collection of stories. It is a reminder that you are not alone, that someone else understands your pain, and that even in the midst of it all, God is with you.
