Overview

New York City moved at the pace of my heart. Everything fit. Then came a familiar, unmistakable nudge—God was calling me to leave the sparkle and comfort of Manhattan to put down roots in small-town South Carolina.

Leaving behind the city I adored for a town that surprised me first with love, and then with heartache, it felt like God was stripping me of everything. It felt like wrath. I began to wonder if I had heard Him right. Had I ever heard Him? Did I even know Him at all?

Overview

New York City moved at the pace of my heart. Everything fit. Then came a familiar, unmistakable nudge—God was calling me to leave the sparkle and comfort of Manhattan to put down roots in small-town South Carolina.

Leaving behind the city I adored for a town that surprised me first with love, and then with heartache, it felt like God was stripping me of everything. It felt like wrath. I began to wonder if I had heard Him right. Had I ever heard Him? Did I even know Him at all?

This is a story of letting go, of choosing. Through the crushing blows of sanctification, the loss of my “home,” the end of relationships, and the betrayal of friends, I was forced to look at the darkness of my own heart. Will I walk away from Him? Or will I learn instead to walk in freedom from the fears that imprison me? This is a love story. But it’s no fairytale.

Or maybe, it is.

Editorial Reviews

Annie Downs
It is rare that a book kidnaps me for hours at a time, but the deeply vulnerable writing of Tara-Leigh Cobble has done that to me again. To read this book is to see the heart of a woman who loves God more than anything else. And that kind of encounter changes people. It changed me.
Blake Butler
This book isn’t just for females. It’s about shaking off the gravity of our fears and moving in freedom. These are universal truths that every human must embrace in order to be who we were created to be.

Every human needs to read this book. I can’t even begin to put into words how it challenged my own walk with God and how it made me long for deep conversations with this hilarious, God-fearing, brilliant woman. You’ll read it and want to give ten copies away.
Jared Wilson
Orange Jumpsuit is the Bildungsroman that many have been waiting for. With great depth and wit, Tara-Leigh Cobble provides a powerful portrait of the feminine heart—resilient, complex, awakening to God’s love.
Josh Wilson
Whether you like reading or not, you’ll love this book. At times, I actually forgot I was reading. It felt like I was there with her, walking through each joy and pain we all experience. Orange Jumpsuit ultimately reminds us that every circumstance, no matter how difficult, is an opportunity for redemption.

    Treat yourself to this refreshing read.

    Tara Leigh writes like she is sitting across from you over a cup of coffee sharing her heart. And her heart is a beautiful place. She has a relationship with God that will make you love Him more and you will find yourself experiencing more of His love for you as well. Tucked in at regular intervals in the middle of her honest and vulnerable life stories are precious gems of truth that will enlarge your heart. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this gift. Her first two books are just as valuable. Here's To Hindsight: Letters to My Former Self and Crowded Skies: Letters to Manhattan. As I followed her journey I found myself further down the road in my own.
