Rooted in a century of family history and the hard-won lessons of survival, In God We Trust: Don’t Tread on Us is a deeply intimate memoir about transformation, truth-telling, and the fierce resilience of a family shaped by love, loss, faith, and generational strength.

Nikki Baines invites listeners into her multigenerational story—one that spans addiction and recovery, spiritual questioning, childhood grief, parental reconciliation, and the unspoken experiences that shaped her identity. From the trauma of the 1980s crack epidemic and the quiet heroism of the elders who raised her, to the struggles of addiction, the weight of grief, and the awakening power of gratitude, Nikki pieces together the blessings hidden inside life’s most painful moments.

With transparency, humor, and unwavering faith, she illuminates her journey toward emotional healing and spiritual clarity. Every chapter echoes a universal message: no pain goes in vain, and every life—no matter how imperfect—carries divine purpose. This memoir is more than a testimony; it is an offering of compassion to anyone seeking freedom from the burdens of their past and the courage to reclaim their story.

A raw, redemptive, and deeply human narrative, In God We Trust: Don’t Tread on Us reminds us that God’s miracles often arrive disguised as obstacles—and that gratitude can turn even the heaviest truths into victory.
