Kerri Rawson tells her experience of growing up retrospectively after finding out her father is BTK and how she deals with the aftermath. Her journey of faith and resilience and forgiveness is unique. Rawson is open and transparent in how her relationship with her father and God has shaped her path back to life. 
Three stars because of the strength it would take to live through this and then write about it but not for me.

challenging dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced

I just feel icky giving this a star rating, so I'll skip it. Wasn't sure why the book needed to be broken up into seven parts, was a bit too repetitive for my liking.
