Redeemed, the title of Penny Lane's riveting memoir, gave me hope that she would prevail and kept me reading this advance reader copy through the physical and emotional abuse she suffered at the hand of her stepmother and her father who looked away. The narrative will stir strong emotions in the reader to protect our children, and hopefully prompt more people will speak out and report abuse. Penny would survive and deal with additional abuse she suffered as an adult, including being a member of an abusive Christian cult, a first husband who dismissed her needs, and a family who ignored the truth of her childhood. It took many decades for her to discover that she was indeed 'precious' and to love herself enough to walk away from toxic people. A compelling, gripping story that ends in redemption.
