About Can You Handle a Girl Like Me?
In a sleepy Canberra suburb, Bek Condello was raised in a strict patriarchal Pentecostal movement. The influence of the Geelong Revival Centre extended deeply into the lives of the congregation, promoting discipline and dictating how girls and women behaved, who they socialised with and who they would marry.
After enduring a tumultuous marriage, Bek Condello made the courageous decision to start her life again. Anyone who leaves the GRC is cut off, from family, identity, history.
Can You Handle A Girl Like Me? chronicles Bek’s journey of challenges and transformation as she navigates dating and friendships. With little experience, she is rebuffed and exploited.
Through embracing healing and self-empowerment, Bek is now embarking on a second life of adventure and joy.
