There's one thing my personal experience has taught me about God. It's that He never forsakes anyone and never gives up on anyone. Your family, siblings, and relatives may be ashamed of you, but God's love remains unconditional. I have never read a book twice and enjoyed every bit of it the way I enjoyed reading Rescued from the Shadows by Katherine Rybarczyk.

Kathy came from an extremely dysfunctional family background. She was raised by a single mother who was extremely abusive. This affected her attitude towards life entirely. Her journey into delusion began when she met Sean. This relationship gave her every impression of love. However, in this sex-driven relationship with Sean, she became pregnant. How would she tell her mother that she was pregnant, knowing the inevitable consequences of such a confession? This began her journey into uncontrollable sexual experiences to the extent that she became mentally abnormal. Her life went from bad to worse as she kept meeting men who took advantage of her naivety. Will there ever be any rescue for Kathy? Will her life ever be in alignment with God's will for her?

While I read this book, I remembered my background and the dangers of coming from such a background. I was eager to find out what eventually became Kathy's outcome. What I loved most about this book was its suspense. Each time I perceived her rescue coming, I ended up being disappointed. Her story wasn't the usual bad-to-good-life kind of story. How will she ever recover from all these destructive habits and patterns? For instance, when she met Calvin, I sincerely thought he would be a different kind of man since he seemed to have such an affiliation with churches. Aside from Kathy, I was also deceived by his first impression. The book kept me guessing till the end.

I loved Kathy. I felt I could have a personal conversation with her. Many lost young souls would find peace again by just talking with her. She's not a prostitute. She's just a victim of parental failure, as I was. In all these, she found a way to reserve a special place for God in her heart. And she was vocal about it despite the criticisms from her religious circles.

I have no negative comments against this wholesome book. It's too pure to be criticized. It just has an error, and that's not enough. Therefore, I will rate it 5 out of 5 stars. If you are on a lifetime quest to find love, security, mental stability, and grace, this book is specially reserved for you.

Surving the life of an abusive family is like a super power because not everyone can live through it.
