I was three years old and I thought that all little girls played these same games with their fathers. Thus began my introduction to sexual abuse - although at the time, I did not know the meaning of the words, nor could I even spell them. My father sexually abused me for ten years, both before and after he became a preacher. Naturally this completely polluted my concept of God, father, love and trust. This really is a story about the carnage that sexual abuse leaves in the heart of every child. It is my story of being a preacher's daughter in search of a loving Heavenly Father who would give me the courage to forgive and trust again. A Heavenly Father so unlike my earthly father that the difference would literally baffle me for years. (Linda Fossen) "Beautiful, Beautiful Linda, Well done! I am so thrilled you have redeemed this place of pain. May God anoint this book mightily to call others to freedom and bring healing and strength to so many captive daughters!"

Sounds like a sobering story where God somehow, amazingly, brings beauty from the ashes. Thanks for the post - I'll be sure to check out the book.
