Something About Me and My Book:: A heart rending memoir, Trading Fathers: Forgiving Dad, Embracing God, documents the story of Karen Rabbitt, M.S.W., and her journey from the brokenness of sexual abuse to the joy of emotional wholeness.

The special focus of her story is wrestling with God: “Where were you when I was abused by my father?” As she sorts out the differences between her heavenly and earthly fathers, Karen learns to see God as her true Papa and experiences lasting freedom from the bondage of abuse.

Karen was named 2009 “Writer of the Year” at Write-to-Publish, one of the oldest and largest Christian writing conferences. The judge wrote:

“The winner of the Writer of the Year award truly satisfies the reader’s cry, “Take me there.” She uses uncommonly vivid sensory detail to transport her readers—to scenes from her difficult years of childhood abuse through to her adult life of struggling to relate to both her earthly father and her heavenly Father. Yet her sensitivity to “how much pain to share” and her careful balancing of “stories of hurt” with stories of people who showed her little glimpses of unconditional love along the way, keeps this memoir uplifting. Trading Fathers: Forgiving Dad, Embracing God is beautifully written. And it’s a valuable resource to help readers–whether they’ve had similar backgrounds or not–learn hope, healing, and forgiveness, as she has, by God’s grace.”
