A quiet ache settles in when the calendar flips again and the dream still hasn’t arrived. For Rebecca Hidlay, author of RARE (The true story of how I survived a narcissistic parent with homicidal tendencies. A testimony of God’s love and grace.), the waiting room of life was not a sterile corridor but a battleground of heartbreak, betrayal, and relentless hope.
Her story is raw—surviving a narcissistic parent with chilling intentions—yet what stings most isn’t always the trauma, but the years that follow. The years where promises dangle, and faith becomes a whisper you strain to hear. In this suspended space, RARE emerges not just as a memoir but as a compass for those holding on to unfulfilled prophetic dreams.
When Love Is Delayed but Not Denied
In RARE, Rebecca reflects on her lifelong desire for a husband, not just any companion, but a divine partner woven into her prophetic dreams. This desire didn’t fade with age; it deepened. She writes not from the pedestal of fulfillment but from the posture of patience.
She once believed each relationship might be “the one,” only to find herself grieving their endings. Yet hope, she insists, hasn’t been buried with those heartbreaks. Instead, it has been refined. RARE shows us that unfulfilled longing doesn’t mean absence of faith—it often proves its presence.
Prophetic Glimpses in the Dark
Throughout her journey, God whispered to Rebecca through visions—signs of children she’d bear, warnings before tragedies, glimpses of what was coming. And still, one vision remained out of reach: the man meant to love her in full.
In RARE, she does not claim instant understanding. She wrestles with the possibility that her hope may never take earthly form. But she does not curse the longing. She sanctifies it. She repeatedly holds the desire before God, asking, “If this is not for me, then remove it.” And when silence follows, she waits—still believing.
The Faith to Stay Planted
“Waiting is not passive,” Rebecca writes in spirit, “it is sacred.” RARE reveals a life lived in prayerful motion—writing down visions, worshiping, healing from family trauma, and allowing God to use her brokenness to touch others.
The supernatural moments in her life are not escape hatches; they are anchors. She describes seeing a woman walking on water—herself—so long as she kept her eyes on Jesus. That’s the picture RARE paints: a woman with grief beneath her feet and heaven in her eyes.
Are you still waiting on ‘the one’? Has time made you doubt your prophetic dreams? Then Rebecca Hidlay’s RARE is your story, too. It does not promise quick answers or formulaic prayers. But it promises honesty, and a reminder that God’s silence is not His absence.
You may feel alone in the waiting, but RARE insists that you are seen and heard, and your story is still unfolding. Rebecca’s testimony proves that God’s grace is sustained not just through trauma but through time.
