His Special Little Girl: Incest in a Christian Home
by Jody Lynn Rutherford
Category: Biography & Autobiography

"Is it possible to describe the confusion and shame I felt every time daddy came to my bedroom and used me to fulfill his sexual perversion? Is it possible to describe the fear that consumed me when I thought I was pregnant with my dad's baby?" His Special Little Girl is a heart-on-your-sleeve memoir about growing up in an abusive home with five siblings, an alcoholic father, and a courageous mother -- about desperate attempts to cope with impossible pain -- about surviving the devastation of incest and the rejection of divorce -- about God's forgiveness and healing. Jody bares her soul as she takes you on an inconceivable journey that includes graphic scenes of her abuse, honest exposure of her own sin, paralyzing anguish, and sorrow she endures as an adult, and her raw emotions as she deals with her dad's prison sentence and death. You will weep as you read about the heartbreaking encounters and effects of this hideous crime, and then you will rejoice as you experience the forgiveness, love, and support that this family had for their dad and each other.
