The Lafferty Girl: Surviving Trauma, Abuse, and My Father's Crimes
$27.96 online at Bookshop.org
Rebecca Lafferty grew up with a volatile, erratic father, Dan Lafferty, and carried the scars of that upbringing into adulthood. Worst was learning of the 1984 murder of her aunt and infant cousin, committed by Dan and his brother Ron after a revelation Ron claimed to receive, later profiled in Under the Banner of Heaven. In this memoir Rebecca tells her own story of survival and healing. Correspondence with Dan, who is serving life in prison, insights from relatives, and her lived experience give her a deep view of the lead-up to the tragedy and its aftermath. She hopes to encourage other survivors of abuse and trauma to chart their own path to healing and peace.
