This book is both shocking and challenging. It alerts readers to the terrifying and unsettling reality of cleric abuse. It also informs the reader to recognize a predator's methods of choosing, grooming and isolating a victim, along with an urgent appeal for victims to take a stand against the pervasive culture of silence that acts as a protection for the abuser. It is the true story of one woman who unknowingly becomes the victim of a psychopath and then finds out that she is one among many who have fallen under his evil spell. This story chronicles an on-going civil case in the Eastern part of the United States, where so far, 79 victims have come forward to the church and reported this particular offender. The facts are true. Names and locations have been changed to protect only the victims. It is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the disturbing issue of cleric abuse from the inside out!
