Description of book

What is it like to learn that your ordinary, loving father is a serial killer?

In 2005, Kerri Rawson opened the door of her apartment to greet an FBI agent who shared the shocking news that her father had been arrested for murdering ten people, including two children.

That's also when she first learned that her father was the notorious serial killer known as BTK, a name he'd given himself that described the horrific way he committed his crimes: bind, torture, kill. As news of his capture spread, the city of Wichita celebrated the end of a thirty-one-year nightmare. For Kerri Rawson, another was just beginning.

In the weeks and years that followed, Kerri was plunged into a black hole of horror and disbelief. The same man who had been a loving father, a devoted husband, church president, Boy Scout leader, and a public servant had been using their family as a cover for his heinous crimes since before she was born. Everything she had believed about her life had been a lie.

Written with candor and extraordinary courage, A Serial Killer's Daughter is an unflinching exploration of life with one of America's most infamous killers and an astonishing tale of personal and spiritual transformation.

A Serial Killer's Daughter will give you the encouragement you need to learn how to:

Pick up the pieces of your life when everything falls apartBegin to heal from the long-lasting effects of violenceTrust that light will overcome the darknessKerri Rawson's story offers the hope of reclaiming sanity in the midst of madness, rebuilding a life in the shadow of death, and learning to forgive the unforgivable.

Reviews of A Serial Killer's Daughter

Apart verhaal. Wel erg Amerikaans en christelijk.

Most of the book is a journey to find god in her life. And she comes across as she thinks, she is more of a victim than the real victims. She seems like a spoilt brat. It is about the true victims and not about her. It is their right to decide what they want and not about her being ashamed of what her father did. And she always makes it about herself. Yeah, that is what the book is about, but she makes herself out to be the main victim and kind of downplays the true victims and what they had ti go through!

Książka, która nie wnosi nic konkretnego, ma chyba jedynie ocieplać wizerunek czarnego charakteru tej historii, na co on absolutnie nie zasługuje. Nie należy zapomnieć co zrobił ten człowiek i jakie drugie życie prowadził. Jak się tego słucha to tak jakby słuchało się jakiejś historii o starszym panu, dobrodusznym człowieku…wspaniałym ojcu i obywatelu. Z drugiej strony gdy myśle o tym co zrobił… To bardzo przykra historia w wyniku, której wiele osób straciło życie w najbardziej okrutny możliwy sposób. Rozumiem, że córka nie jest obiektywna. Poniekąd jest tez ofiarą jego kłamstw i manipulacji. Nie wiem na ile działa w niej mechanizm obronny - mam wrażenie, że usilnie chce wymazać prawdę o swoim ojcu, wypiera, opisując go jako ciepłego, rodzinnego człowieka. Faktem jest, ze nie znała swojego narcystycznego ojca psychopaty. A gdzie miejsce dla ofiar i ich historia? Dużo skupienia się na sobie autorko i swoim bólu. Nie kupuje tego.
