From Surviving to Living with Holly Bot

Book Release 12.10.2025

Arrested, convicted, and branded a sex offender, Holly faced a future stripped of freedom and family. But faith became her lifeline inside a system designed to break her. This memoir details every grueling step—from jail intake, battles with bureaucracy, to the relentless fight for her children—showing how surrendering to Jesus reshaped a shattered life. 

“A remarkable piece of work with a timeless message for all those who find themselves in a painful situation or condition from which it seems impossible to escape…If you are searching for some resource to help in rescuing people from impossible situations, I urge you to acquire a copy!”

Douglas McLachlan

President Emeritus, Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Plymouth, MN

You may feel anger, disgust, or even betrayal at the idea of hearing a story from someone branded a sex offender. That reaction is honest—and it matters. This isn’t an attempt to excuse what was done, or to erase the weight of harm.

But what if grace could reach even here?

From Surviving to Living is a raw account of one woman’s journey through prison and deep shame into a life reshaped by Jesus. It is not comfortable. It will challenge the way you think about justice, mercy, and redemption. But it also bears witness to a truth we desperately need: no one is beyond the reach of God’s love. 

If you’ve ever wrestled with where forgiveness ends—or whether real change is possible—this story is for you.
